It's been around for over a decade. A friend of mine had it done when it was really new, so far so good still.

However I hear conflicting answers from doctors so that doesn't instill much faith in it. I know a few people now that have had it done and they all went well. I'm a bit afraid though that I might be one of the rare cases and have something go wrong. My sight is okay now (could be much better) but that would suck to be one of the failures and end up with worse eyesight or worse yet be COMPLETELY BLIND!! - Now that is scary to me. Then even glasses would not be able to help you.
