LASIK in Halacha

Question:

Is it permissible to undergo surgery to correct one’s vision, where the sole purpose of the surgery is to alleviate the need of glasses or contact lenses?

Answer:

It is permitted, because it is not considered dangerous. This is even though there are other options, and the person can manage without it.
