Don't ever do a touch up. Like if your vision slips and they offer to get you back to 20/20.
My lasik in 2008 went perfect. My 2014 touch up turned into a living hell 2014-2018 and I still have issues. But at least I can look at a backlit display again, go outside, use the oven, ........
It's fun to feel good about something turning out well. It's called luck. Don't take it to mean the internet is FUD.
Terrible things really do happen and after 7 surgeries and 4 corneal surgeon specialists across 3 states I am calling absolute bullshit on the suggestion that this is rare. They told me it's not rare. The rarity is it not being fixed after 7 surgeries.
Just to drive this home. They glued my flap down. It felt like a dagger was in my eye. I was screaming. They told me this was normal -- only after the surgery. AND IT FAILED. I had to do it again. And then they sutured it down instead.
I have pics from an iPhone where you can see the stitches popping out of my eyeball
...ugh. Anyway. I'm glad it went well for you. BUT YOU ARE LUCKY. No one should do this unless they understand the risks. I absolutely did not. They repeatedly told me they could fix it and failed.
(I don't mean to be argumentative. It's like a PTSD fueled public service announcement..)
