If it's not necessary, then don't do it! Any time a bodily tissue or organ that undergoes any type of surgery, it will never be the same again.
20 years ago a friend in FL underwent Lasik surgery. She acquired an infection in one eye and treated her with antibiotics without success. When the doctors realized she had a fungal infection inside the eye, it was too late to save her vision.
In April 2013, I experienced 4 retinal detachments at the age of 45 in the left eye requiring 3 surgeries: laser surgery; vitrectomy and laser surgery; vitrectomy and laser surgery with scleral buckle. In October 2013 I went against medical advice and had the scleral buckle removed because I couldn't tolerate the device in my eye. In April 2014, I had cataract surgery because the previous surgeries were so traumatic to the eye, causing a cataract. Over $60,000 later I now have about 90% vision in the left eye.
Cause of the retinal detachment: normal aging with bad luck.
Don't have elective surgery on your body if it's not medically necessary, you might regret it later.
