Pros – Normal Vision, Less money no glasses!
Cons – No dramtic pauses where you can slowly take off your glasses and sigh. (Well, I guess you could do that anyway)
also Glaring and Halos sometimes still happen.

The chances of something going wrong are reaaaaaly small.
Dont worry. They’re professionals and they don’t screw around. Its an exact science and it’s come a long way.
If you’re so worried, why don’t you get contacts? You can wear them for a month without taking them out (Called “Night & Day” brand)

pro -you can join the RAF
con – You can be made blind, worth the risk?

Pros – No more glasses.
Cons – SMALL risk of being blind. But hey, they’re professionals. They’ve had years of training, I’m pretty sure that they won’t slip up.
You should look into getting contacts if glasses annoy you. :]

I know of no case where anyone has actually gone blind, but I’ve seen several personally where people had worse vision after the surgery than before, and that could not be well corrected even with glasses or contact lenses.
Yes, that’s rare, (96% of people say they are happy to very happy with their outcomes, even if they have some side effects), but if it happens to you, that it’s rare isn’t much of a consolation.
More common side effects are the Rx not as being as close to zero as hoped, dry eyes (temporarily or permanently), night time glare or haloes (temporarily or permanently).
Have a look at the FDA site, and a sample consent form (what you’d be agreeing to…)
