All of the talk at the time of this writing about LASIK eye surgery creating eyesight problems for a number of people after having the procedure seems to be overblown. Some might accuse the media of attacking LASIK eye surgery as a ploy by optometrists and eye contact makers who've been slowly losing business due to LASIK surgery becoming easier and gradually more affordable. And your humble writer of this article had LASIK surgery almost exactly ten years ago when the process still took approx. two weeks for each eye to recover compared to being done on an outpatient basis now.
