However, if it's a 3% chance that I'll see worse/go blind, or the doctor doesn't give all my money back, then that 3% starts to look huge.

...and that, as I understand it, is exactly the problem. Not the money, though I doubt you get it back either. The "I could see with glasses and/or contacts, and now I have vision problems that glasses, contacts and more laser surgery can't fix." Some evidently do ultimately get fixed with more laser (after more money) and some are just plain scrod. Permanently.

glasses

got new glasses on the way. 

They have different uses for me. Contacts are awesome because they give me a full range of vision with no frames interfering with my vision, I can wear sunglasses, etc. Glasses are good for when I'm tired, or when the contacts are dried out, or right before bed. Also, if I'm watching TV and reading a book at the same time, glasses are nice cuz I can look over them for reading, then look through them to see the TV. (I'm nearsighted, and while I can read with the glasses on/contacts in, I prefer reading without either)
