Don't disagree with any of that, C_T.
But the reason I ask is because of the need to balance the risks against the benefits.
Sure, the thought of not having to grope around for contacts etc. first thing in the morning, that's a big improvement in quality of life for a lot of people.
Usually the procedure works very well, and it's getting better all the time, but problems can and do still occur. Perhaps if you don't drive at night, or depend on the quality of your vision for your work, you may not be too worried about losing a line of BCVA, or night haloes, or worse.
But for a pilot it's different... when your livelihood depends on it, I'm just interested why someone would consider it worth the risk.
