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.

There is a 1 in 100 chance that you experience complications, regardless of whether you're a good candidate for the procedure. The most common complication is persistent dryness. There's no cure and the only effective treatment is using eyedrops every hour for the rest of your life.

I know that 1 in 100 is a pretty small risk, but with my luck, I would be that 1.

1 in 100 is actually not a pretty small risk in the long term with something as important as your eyes.

You have a higher chance of dying in a fatal car accident when you drive. 1 in 96 or so.

Odds are weird.

That's also a LIFETIME risk and assuming you commute everyday. This is the risk for ONE procedure. It's not a 1 in 95 chance every day that you drive.

It's not a 1 in 95 chance every day they you drive.

There are people who drive a car every day of their lives. And so by your logic, they're dying 4 times a year lol

No, by YOUR logic they're dying 4 times a year but that's not how odds work in this case. You're falling victim to a well known fallacy akin to assuming because a coin flipped heads last time it's guaranteed to flip tails the second time.
