LASIK has a lot of issues. Please search lasik on Twitter and find out. Small subset of people are left in excruciating pain. Most doctors in Eye hospitals will wear glasses or contact lenses, they never get lasik.

An ex member of Linus tech tips also posted a video about it.

Reason why i never bothered with it. Even if its say 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 ( which is very high imo) risk is too much vs minor inconvenience.
And then once you get older, eyes will get issue again.

There are many alternatives to LASIK now, they don't need to cut open a flap anymore. It is worth it to look into SMILE and other options. But as other people commented, nothing has a 100% success rate vs the minor inconvenience of wearing prescription glasses.
