  In terms of this question,I can't tell u the exact results because this just depends.However,the investigation has showed that about 85% of people get improved in their eyesight.I think this is a good result.Of course,on the other hand,it also means other 15% of people fail this surgery who may get their vision not improved or even worse.And sometimes after this surgery u need to be prepared that there may be some lasting side effects to ur health.Anyway,take care
