Lasik Eye Correction

when you have laser eye surgery is it a high risk that you will become blind?

1. Given the assumption that you're speaking of LASIK surgery to correct vision, no there's extremely little risk of blindness. The surgery wouldn't have been approved, hundreds of thousands of patients wouldn't have paid significant money, if there was a high potential for blindness. If you want to get it done, and can afford it, go for it. The U S Army has paid for many, many Special Forces/Ranger soldiers to have it done, with excellent success.
2. No. Complete blindness after laser eye surgery is extremely rare.
