as per the URL, The chance of "going completely blind" from LASIK is probably zero. In the "worst case" scenario, which is extremely rare (approximately 1 in 2000 cases) a patient would require a corneal transplant to correct a LASIK complication.

It is not a high chance, but there is a chance. The doctor should have informed her about all the risks. If the doctor hasn't, I would look for a new doctor.
