- onlyrealcuzzo 4y agoThe need for sunglasses??
- tcmb 4y agoImplanting self-tinting artificial lenses, maybe? Wouldn’t want that, but seems entirely possible.
- senectus1 4y agoyes! a thin film of gold over our eyeballs!
- Gordonjcp 4y agoWould you actually risk having elective surgery on your eyes - which are irreplaceable - when it's easy and simple to just change your glasses if your prescription changes?
- procinct 4y agoI would absolutely get LASIK if my eyes had stopped degrading.
- tjpnz 4y agoIf you haven't seen a doctor do it now. There are progressive conditions which can rob you of your remaining sight if you don't intervene.
- procinct 4y agoI see an optometrist every year. But my eye sight is degrading over time (which is normal). As I understand, there’s no point getting LASIK until your eyes have stopped degrading, since if you got them fixed, they would just degrade anyway.
- buryat 4y agoalready got the surgery 12 years ago
- Gordonjcp 4y agoDoes it actually work? With no side-effects?
- fragmede 4y agoMake your decisions for your own body, but LASIK is popular for a reason.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoI don't really see how LASIK can work.
- fragmede 4y agothat seems like a personal problem. there's a body of proof that it does, both theoretically and practically, and it's been around long enough now that we know about the long term effects.
- Karsteski 4y ago? Laser eye surgery is a well practiced surgery what are you talking about..? I just for PRK and while the recovery is way worse than LASIK, the results are already great 2 months in.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoOkay, but how do you change what prescription you need?
- Karsteski 4y agoI don't need a prescription. In 15+ years once I'm in my 40s and my eye sight starts naturally deteriorating maybe I'll need reading glasses, but that's unpreventable. I saw in another comment you were asking about side effects. There definitely are, and tbh if you're happy w/ glasses and they work for your lifestyle then more power to you. LASIK side effects from what I've read are most commonly really dry eyes and star burst effects from light sources at night. Seems a lot of people after going through PRK have bad night vision (which I'm experiencing), and moderate to severe light sensitivity, which I personally have none of. So yea, there are side effects that can be really bad, but for the most part people seem very happy with both LASIK and PRK. I can certainly say PRK was one of my best life decisions, it's definitely been worth it to me because I hated wearing glasses and I do a lot of outdoor activities as well as Jiu jitsu, so I was basically the ideal candidate
- rypskar 4y agoImplantable contact lenses (ICL) are low risk and can be changed if needed. I'm still happy I got the surgery 10 years ago, is a good alternative to LASIK
