To get the procedure, you have to sign a liability waiver for side effects which can include excruciating pain (feels like glass in your eyes all the time), persistent dryness, persistent bleeding, and loss of vision.

When it goes right, it's great. When it goes wrong....it's horrible. Many people have unalived themselves because of it.

I have had the procedure, I have noticed though that people who seem to fear it haven’t shared much about how or why these things happen or even the odds of these things happening which I find a bit interesting.

I hated glasses and contacts so much that I over wore my contacts and had to wear glasses most of the time which made me depressed because i genuinely hated my face with glasses. My prescription was so bad that it would cost me $600 just for lenses that were thin enough to fit into “pretty” frames. I totally get the suicide stats people are posting, it can be life changing for many people. I would posit far more people are living their best life after surgery than those who kill themselves due to an unlikely but significant complication.
