You can judge for your self if it is worth the risk. I had a successful surgery. However, looking back I would offer the following advice.
1) RELAX! Do what ever it takes to be as relaxed as possible before and during the surgery. Take meds - take meditation - do something. Twitching and fighting the operation during the proceedure is very bad.
2) Find a Doctor you personally feel good about. You should know within 5 minutes of talking to them if they are a person you are willing to trust.
3) Have reasonable expectations. Before suregery I could not shave without my glasses - now, I can see about 98% as well as I did with my best prescription. It is not perfect. However, now I get to go scuba diving and surf.
