On the other hand, you can get amazingly well fit ear buds for a hundred or so, and the stuff the doctor uses to irritate your ears costs like $8 over the count

My biggest gripe is I can't combine it with over the ear stuff for too long cus it presses my glasses against my head too hard.
- cm2012 9y agoLasik is totally worth it btw.
- CydeWeys 9y agoNot for those of us who have dreams of going into space someday. (This isn't a joke, by the way.)
- piquadrat 9y agoCan you elaborate? As someone eyeing (sorry) a Lasik operation in the not-to-distant future, I'm genuinely interested.
- CydeWeys 9y agoYou aren't allowed to go into space if you've had laser eye surgery, as there's too much risk of retinal detachment and other unpleasantness in low pressure atmospheres. Hell, you can have issues climbing really tall mountains if you've had Lasik. I'd definitely look into it if I were you.
- andrewflnr 9y agoIt looks like it used to banned for NASA astronauts. That's the best I can find in a few minutes. It's hard for me to imagine an issue for commercial space travel. Edit: forgot my link: https://www.wired.com/2007/09/nasa-approves-a/ https://www.wired.com/2007/09/nasa-approves-a/
- CydeWeys 9y agoLooks like my info is a bit out of date. Thanks for the link!
- DanieI 9y agoIt says here that, "As of September 2007, the refractive surgical procedures of the eye, PRK and LASIK, are now allowed, providing at least 1 year has passed since the date of the procedure with no permanent adverse after effects. For those applicants under final consideration, an operative report on the surgical procedure will be requested." https://astronauts.nasa.gov/content/faq.htm https://astronauts.nasa.gov/content/faq.htm
