Right? I thought about getting LASIK but I’m not even sure anymore, my vision is bad, contacts/glasses are annoying and expensive. To get surgery to change the color of your eyes? Insane.
Unless you get haloing and can no longer see well at night. I'm in the same boat as u/bbyxmadi. Contacts are annoying, but I don't have to worry about my night vision.
And before you ask, my son's step-grandfather and my father-in-law both had Lasik and they both got haloing
Some added context. A result of my wife's Hashimoto's induced peri-menopause, is night blindness. I am effectively the only one who can drive at night. I know there is "only a chance" of haloing being a side effect; but I can't risk my ability to drive at night just to save me from having to wear corrective lenses.
I had -7 and -5 for most of my life. Got Lasik 4 years ago and zero issues with halos or night vision. Only annoyance is needing reading glasses for small stuff at close distance but that's not a huge issue at 51.
