Today I am going to have an appointment for laser eyes surgery, which I would like to have in near future. I would like to ask the optician as many question as possible, so I can be sure I am doing the right thing. Thanks.

Is there a chance of scarring?
Will I still need glasses?
How will it alter with age?
What infection prevention do they offer?

You haven't said what your eye condition actually is that necessitates a need for eye surgery so no-one on this site can truthfully give you a proper answer. Additionally it would be helpful to know who your opticians are. Is it a well known High Street name?
The sensible thing to do is to go along to your optician with an 'open' mind. Ask your Optician to tell you the 'pros' and 'cons', ie How will the treatment actually benefit you? How long will the healing process take? Will there be any distortion in your vision at any time after the treatment? (this can happen). Should you tell your Motor Insurance Company about the treatment? Is it likely that it will bump up your premiums?
What special precautions will you need to take after treatment?
Will you need to be off work very long? . . your employer will need to know after all.
If after the consultation you have any concerns, fix an appointment with your own Doctor who I am sure will guide you further.
Well I hope I have given you a few ideas and let us all hope for you that everything becomes a success and you are able to enjoy good sight for many years to come.

I had an optimitrist try to sell me laser surgery once, and as I was watching him talk, I noticed he was wearing contact lenses. I didn't do this, but I should have asked, "why are you wearing contacts if laser surgery is the right way to go?"

Something along the lines of "How has Shakespeare used & compared the feelings love and hate throughout the book." This isn't the exact wording but I know I used that question for my GCSE coursework on Romeo & Juliet.

will having the procedure done make my eyesight much better?
by how much?
will it be permanently corrected or can it deteriorate again?
will the cost be deducted from health insurance,or is it considered a cosmetic procedure, rather than corrective medical surgery?.
hope these help in some way.
