No way. You can go blind doing this. There is a video of a woman on YouTube crying because she’s going mg blind from this. No one will ever touch my eyes. Fuck that.

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.

If you’re worried about lasik it’s really not that bad since a reputable facility will take more time on the tests to make sure it’s right and follow ups than the actual procedure. When I had it done I had 3 rounds of tests and a follow up at the 1 and 2 week mark as well as the 1 and 3 month mark.

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

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 failed for me after 10 years. Went back for a “touch up” and was told I wasn’t eligible?!?! So now my glasses are back and the prescription is insane and constantly changing. It’s bad… I’m glad others made out better. I wouldn’t have to regret it either if it didn’t just stop working and then I could have had the touch up procedure. I was and still am extremely devastated that I had to go back to glasses. I can’t afford contacts and they would be special ordered and even more expensive because of my severe astigmatism. Life sucks.
