Does having laser eye surgery give any long term or short term side effects?

I want to have laser eye surgery, but i found out from a friend that you could have a layer of your eye tear away and you’ll be left with nothing but excruciatingly blurry vision. Is this true? I was planning on joining the Marine Corps without glasses or contacts. If there are any other side effects please don’t forget to mention them, thank you!
Look on Laser eye surgery websites to find out about the side effects. I have been researching this and severe side effects are extremely rare and usually occur in people who don’t follow directions or were poor candidates in the first place. Make sure you know the requirements for vision surgery to join the Marines. I don’t know if they have any or not, but you should check to be safe.
at night it gets hard to see, you might get like tunnel vision … thats all i’ve heard really happens from all of my friends that have had it done ……… i personally have had no side effects

Its not that bad, depending on the type of surgery you have you may need the top layer cut but healing time is just a few days and you can see almost instantly. I would recommend a surgeon from Moorfields Eye Hospital or one that was trained there as they are the best.
First go to your regular eye specialist for advice. I had my first left eye laser 12 years ago, I felt good without even the right eye off contact lens. 6 years ago, had my right eye done with the laser surgery, as I have the experience already with my left eye with regular checks by my eye doctor. I am very happy with the laser surgery, now that I can go without glasses, and my eyesight has been corrected without difficulty in reading small article prints. Before you go for the laser eye surgery, please put off your contact lens for a couple of months to stabilise your eye. My experience that I went off contact lens only 1 day before my right surgery, my nerves were not stabilised yet, there was a little bleeding.
Anyway, the surgery was good. I am happy that I have done the laser eye surgery, as I am free without glasses with no difficulty in reading and driving at night In my family, my elder sister, 2 nieces have also done with laser eye surgery. Nowadays, cataracts and a minute-dot hole, are all done by laser surgery, I had one such surgery with a tiny hole on my right eye. After surgery, always have regular check-up. Anyway, get advice and check whether you are eligible for the surgery as some are not.
