age 58. he was treated by an eye specialist which gave him the option of laser removal but said there were risks, and now he has to decide.

Hello
It seems from the history that your husband is having corneal opacity following a chemical injury.
Mild grade corneal opacity can be removed by laser keratectomy.
Usually it is safe and you can undergo it. No need to worry.
Thank you
