Luke This article is rediculous. It is clearly not objective and thus I can only assume it was written by the lasik industry. It is true that "The amount of long term complications is less than half a percent." However, they're very deceptive about what a "complication" is. Because they consider halos, starbursting, ghosting etc "symptoms" not complications the % is so small. Its really somewhere between 20%-30%. Also I like how they say "Inability to drive at night due to night blindness" What about inability to drive at night due to halos, starbursting etc? not blindness. Come on... It makes me mad when I'm looking around for some objective information and all I can find is crap like this! 11/17/2008
