The true downside of Lasik is the nontrivial risk of permanent eye dryness, this hurts like hell and doesn’t really have a cure apart from constantly using eye drops. The bad cases are basically life destroying, my mom had a moderate case of chronic dry eyes and it made her life significantly more unpleasant (she couldn’t sleep well and was basically in constant pain during the day).
