Here are a few risks :
1) drier eyes
2) Hallows
3) lost of vision
4) damage to the cornea
5) blindness
the list goes on....
Heres a quote from the LA Times :
“Patients unhappy with the results of Lasik surgery are increasingly suing
doctors and clinics for compensation, complaining that the procedure actually
worsened their vision and, in the most extreme cases, left them legally blind.” ~ Los
Angeles Times,
Washington Times : “Trust no one…not even your eye doctor”
There are natural ways that are much safer to get you back to 20/20 back again so there's no need to risk your eyes with a surgery.

Carol asks…
What are the risks of Wavefront Lasik?
If possible, I would like to see something from an impartial source.
PLEASE do not just give me messages linking to your clinic or some kind of ad. I want to see something from a disinterested party.
admin answers:
The same as for conventional. Better results are predicted because of the custom mapping of the eye. Risks include halos, pain and long healing time. Same as.

What are the risks of Lasik eye surgery?
do u think it's worth it?
admin answers:
My son in law had it done about 5 years ago -- now, he can't see at night and he is back in his contacts and glasses again.
It was great for about 3 years, and then his sight slowly went right back to the way it was before the surgery, with the addition of night blindness.

Hi -- I had the Lasik surgery about 2 years ago -- My eyes were really bad and was almost refused to have it done -- My astigmatism was really bad -- I had to have the most painfull proceedure done and the one that takes the longest recovery -- Instead of cutting around the lense and flipping it over and trimming it down/slitting it they had to trim down my whole eye from top down -- The recovery took 3 months vs. 1 hour -- I couldn't see to walk or do anything for a week and the pain was really bad (but they screwed up on my meds and sent me home with no numbing pain drops for my eyes for 2 days) -- For the 1st few weeks I just knew I had made the biggest mistake of my life -- That had always been one of my biggest fears, loosing my sight, because my eyes had been so bad my whole life and I had worn glasses since 7 yrs old -- But after the 3 months it was incredible -- The surgery I had done was the most painful and the longest recovery but it's the best on the eyes -- And prefered if the person will do it -- My eye sight is great now, better than most who have the surgery because of the different proceedure -- No glasses at all and I love it (LOVE IT!!) It was worth it all -- There are no dashes or spectras because of slashes in the eyes -- I can rub my eyes and not fear the lense turning up because of the surgery -- It's great -- I suggest that you talk in detail to an Eye Dr. That you can trust, go get the workup done on the surgery and see what the Eye surgens have to say (you still can walk out up to the point you agree to go back and have the surgery) even after all the tests they will let you know your chances and help you make an informed decision and let you decide if you still want it before they take you back that day to do it -- As far as it being worth it, YES, it's worth it -- My mom's had it done too -- My experience was worse than hers but my vision is 100 X's better than hers too and again, it's soooooooo worth it -- Hope this helps and please feel free to contact me if you have any more questions, I'll be happy to help --
--- Angel
