No doubt about it, the safest surgery is no surgery at all. If there was a way to restore a lens without replacing it, that would be the best method.
With LASIK, you are able to "model" the cornea and change the refraction. If someone is planning refractive surgery, avoiding foreign body implants is the way to go. If someone develops a bad implant reaction, merely removing the offending material is not that simple. The remaining tissue may be infected, scarred, and permanently damaged.
