My optometrist said virtually the exact same thing.

Then again, there are a lot of medical procedures commonly in use
right now that haven't been tested over the course of a lifetime. I
don't hear anyone complaining that advances in cancer or heart disease
treatment haven't been tested for 80 years yet ...

Cancer and heart disease are life-threatening, so any new treatment is worth
trying to extend life. Short-sightedness is not going to kill you unless
you walk out into the road without your specs.
Let's get a sense of proportion here. Lasik eye surgery is usually carried
out for reasons of vanity. Not always, but often.
It's also a big earner for those that do it, don't forget that.
