1.Most are successful. Its VERY rare to have any complications.
2.A report commissioned by AllAboutVision.com from a leading industry analyst in 2009 listed average LASIK costs as:

* $2,140 for all laser-based vision correction procedures (including LASIK) in which a single price is quoted.
* $1,748 for non-customized LASIK using a bladed instrument (microkeratome) and excimer lasers that are not guided by wavefront analysis.
* $2,314 for wavefront-guided LASIK using a laser-created flap.
3.As with any kind of surgical procedures, there are benelasikas well as possible risks of refractive eye surgeries like LASIK done to your eyesight. But like what I have said, its very rare. One thing complication that can happen is – Halo and Glare Effect: The halo & glare effect is an optical effect that is noticed in dim light. When the pupil enlarges to adapt to the dimmer light, a second faded image is produced by the untreated peripheral cornea. For some patients who have undergone PRK or LASIK, this can interfere with night driving.
4. Many experts recommend that LASIK be performed only in people age 18 or older, and then only after the vision has been stable for one year.
