 Having had both RK surgery in the 80s and Lasik in the 90s, I can tell you I
 went from legally blind to 20/15.  Almost 10 years later, I wear reading
 glasses, and have no problems.  I do, however, know of several people who
 have not been so lucky and are worse than they were before due to
 complications, mainly infections.  Would I, in my 40’s, risk my vision?  No.
 My reason for the surgery was to get rid of the daily migraines due to the
 differences in my eyes (one was farsighted, the other near, but more than 6
 ½ diopters apart).  The doctor wondered how I had functioned for so many
 years with that issue.  He was good and I was lucky.
