I know the plural of anecdote isn't data, but I question those numbers. I know lots of people who've gotten LASIK or PRK, and nobody I know personally has regretted it. I only see the horror stories online. I myself have gotten LASIK, and have had no issues outside the original healing period, except a slight tendency towards dry eyes in the morning, but it's mild.

I have for e.g. met someone who got lasik whose cornea was thinned enough that it resulted in keratoconus and needing corneal transplants to even see. That is very uncommon but is apparently possible
