I want to get lasik eye surgery soon and I found this website (http://www.jeffreysingermd.com/) that offers lasik eye surgery for $ 799 per eye and he seems like a good doctor, the main thing that scares me is that before I do the operation I’ve got to sign a patient consent form and this part scares me:
I understand that is possible a perforation of the cornea could occur, causing devastating complications, including loss of some or all of my vision. This could also be caused by an internal or external eye infection that could not be controlled with antibiotics or other means.
I understand that there are other complications threatening vision including, but not limited to INFECTION, inflammation, retinal detachment, hemorrhage, cataract formation, venous and arterial blockage, and that any of these could lead to total blindness and even loss of my eye.
Are all consent form of Lasik eye surgeries this scary?

I had LASIK 3 yrs ago and had amazing results. I also work for an optometrist and see more bad cases than good. Only bc people come back when they have probs and not so much when they have great vision. Yes all consent forms r like that. Question to ask would be what if u need an enhancement and also ask urself r u satisfied with the correction u get now w contacts or glasses? Bc u always take a risk having the surg. Ud hate to have a problem that can’t be completely corrected with contact lenses or glasses after the fact
