Question
Do Ashkenazim recite the 'Gomel' blessing after laser eye surgery? If more details about the surgery are needed, you can call me, and I will explain.
Answer
Hello,
There is no danger in the surgical process, nor is there a situation of 'falling ill'.
Therefore, the 'Gomel' blessing is not recited, neither according to Ashkenazi custom nor Sephardi custom.
