This is my opinion but the way LASIK consultations go, the results aren't clearly shared. From my understanding, the doctors should know with fairly accurate determination whether the laser you're paying for will result in light diffusion: they dilate your eyes so they know the diameter of your pupil and they know the diameter of the laser. The wider the laser, the more likely light won't pass damaged or original tissue. So I feel the operators know the odds they you'll experience defects but don't tell you. Instead, they "recommend" larger lasers. Personally, if defects are a certainty, then that information should be shared. The language used in these consultations make the buyer feel that the results are not certain, that no defects will likely happen when in fact, the operators know full well what defects you'll likely experience. That said, I wish I had taken my chances with PRK.
