Unless your vision is very very bad, I wouldn't risk it. Complications and bad outcomes are very rare, but if you are one of the unlucky ones...well it's your vision. There's not much in life that isn't effected by it. My wife is an OD with eyes worse than mine, she has worked for an MD who did corrective procedures, and manages treatment for post-op patients. She hasn't/won't get LASIK either.
Again, the risk of bad outcomes is extremely minimal, but is the burden of wearing glasses really a reason to take that risk? We say no way, Jose!

I was -6.25 or so in both eyes. I guess I decided it was worth the risk as had it done 7 years ago and haven't had a bother
