Hi there,
Thanks to everyone who replied. Just thought I'd give a little update/ info. According to my doctor and a website I checked - no one has gone blind as a result of an American/ FDA approved Lasik treatment. Also, this doctor has never had a patients vision get worse that it was originally from the surgery. The real risks are light halos and starbursts, increased problems with driving at night, infections and problems with the corneal flap they cut open not healing properly.
As for me, they are willing to do the surgery on me but I have large pupils too. That means I stand at increased risk to have light halo/night driving problems. Since I was already squeamish about it - I'm officially not doing it. However, if I'd been an ideal candidate I would definitely do it.
