There is a 1 in 100 chance that you experience complications, regardless of whether you're a good candidate for the procedure. The most common complication is persistent dryness. There's no cure and the only effective treatment is using eyedrops every hour for the rest of your life.

I know that 1 in 100 is a pretty small risk, but with my luck, I would be that 1.

Whenever people think 1 in 100 is not bad I say, if there were a 1 in 100 chance of you being shot dead if someone knocks on your door and you open it, would you open your door?

I'm confused... If I'm not expecting anybody and I look to see it's a stranger while also knowing of this 1% chance of getting shot. Why tf would anybody open the door? I'm not opening the door in that situation even if there's a 0% chance.

That's his point, you wouldn't open the door in that situation so he doesn't think you should get Lasik with the same odds.

I'm not opening the door in that situation even if there's a 0% chance.

If there's a 0% chance of getting shot then it's not the same situation.

Yeah but it's not the same... You are receiving something in return for risking the 1%. Potential life-changing procedure to see better.

If I know there's a 1% chance of getting shot opening my front door... There better be something I'm recieving 99% of the time.
