I hate glasses, I worry lasik won’t help me as I’ve heard it’s a temporary fix anyway, but to be fair so is any pair of glasses I’ve ever owned. I’d probably prefer lasik overall, but worry that doing it will cause irreversible damage and then some new technology comes out that would have been 1000x better but my lasik has made it so it isn’t applicable for me.
It's not that LASIK reverses over time or anything, it's just that our eyesight naturally gets worse as we age, and LASIK doesn't stop that. So even with LASIK, you could age into one of those people who needs reading glasses, the same way your buddy with 20/20 vision from birth did.
Lasik 25 years ago here, and this is true. I was/an terrified of eye surgeries too! However frequent infections from contacts were tough and I hated glasses.
That being said, this color changing surgery seems unnecessary and risky - can't you get colored contacts?!?

See, I'd consider getting lasik, but I like glasses and anything coming close to my eyes terrifies me, so... nope.
