Yes, of course people have had bad (and also many good) experiences with eye surgery. Duh. General anecdotal evidence doesn't mean anything in this case, and for god's sake don't base your surgery decisions upon it. What you must decide is whether the statistical probability of something going wrong is worth the payoff to you.
I've read that the probability of significant vision loss consequences after LASIK is approximately 1:10 000, so your chances are ostensibly quite good -- though obviously you should do your own research. Also, I would definitely check the track record of the specific surgeon you are considering (statistics, patient feedback, etc.). If the surgeon's reputation isn't spotless, find someone else. At least that's what I'd do; eyesight is not something to be fucked with.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
