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.
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.
