I too am weary of recommending Lasik to anyone and certaily wouldn't encourage anyone to do it. However, I don't think it's wise for you to discourage people because you had a bad outcome, and mostly likely had a bad doctor. Which is why you're having problems in the first place.  What I do rather then recommend the surgery, I recommend people do tons and tons of research about it and find the absolute best Lasik surgeons. Only then should they make THERE OWN decision.
