Question

I've had 3.5 distance vision for the past three years and wear glasses regularly. Lately, I've been seeing a lot about eye surgeries to get rid of glasses and contacts. I went to a well-known hospital for a consultation, and after some tests, the doctor said I'm eligible for LASIK surgery. They mentioned I could live glasses and contact lens-free after the procedure. But I'm a bit worried is LASIK really safe? Once it's done, will I actually be able to see clearly without glasses or contacts?
