About 10 years ago I was about to undergo LASIK surgery. Fortunately before the surgery an eye doctor made put me through lots of tests, including one which measured the thickness (for lack of a better term) of the cornea. He suggested me not to undergo LASIK because in the medium/long term I could have complications, so I passed. Fast forward 10 years, I have a colleague who had LASIK surgery done without those tests... he also has a thin cornea and now he is having a lot of problems with one of his eyes. So I guess LASIK is not for everyone.
