What are the odds of complications arising after going through LASIK or PRK? What's the worst that can happen?

I already posted this earlier in your thread but maybe you missed it. I would really like to hear what you have to say about this as I am considering doing this sometime soon.

I can't give you any odds of severe complications....it would differ from center to center and surgeon to surgeon. I can only tell you it is very low.....anywhere from 1 in a thousand to 1 in 5000. The worst possible outcome would be anything that causes the cornea to no longer be transparent such as an infection or corneal melt and you would need a corneal transplant.
