I will address this one...
It actually increases the risk as people are less likely to come in for their annual eye examinations after they get the procedure. It also increases your risk getting a condition known as Keratoconus.
It is very important that you continue with eye examinations every 1 to 2 years after the surgery even if your vision is 20/20.
