She had a similar surgery called EpiLASIK. And true, they did tell her that. However, it would seem that the advantage in this case would be to make the eyes equal and limit the necessary vision correction to reading only.

Similar to GD, I have also been fortunate as the only one in my family who has not required correction (though in the last couple years I have started wearing a slight magnification while at the comuter at work), and I'm pushing 40.
