Laser eye surgery is a fantastic choice as well, tbh.
- cimmanom 8y agoI've heard too many nightmare stories, even from people who went to the most reputable providers. Not gonna screw with my vision, thanks.
- pseudalopex 8y agoLaser eye surgery is a fantastic choice for many people, especially people who are nearsighted, under 40, and don't have any contraindications. It's less effective[1] and riskier[2] for farsightedness, and there's only so much it can do for presbyopia. It's also riskier for people who have autoimmune disorders, immune deficiencies, diabetes, or dry eyes.

- ThrustVectoring 8y agoIt's also great for correcting astigmatism. The nearsightedness that I got corrected was reasonably well managed by glasses, but my astigmatism was compensated for by my brain. I got noticeably more well-coordinated after laser eye surgery freed up visual processing ability this way, and I've heard other anecdotal evidence of this phenomena as well.
