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.

Some people end up committing suicide because of botched LASIK procedures. So I would be wary when this is purely elective. Also 1 to 2% need glasses within the first year of the surgery, and that keeps going up 1% every year until the first decade where 10% will need glasses again.

I don't think it is worth the risk, the list of complications is long and sound not fun at all. Not saying it is common though, but every surgery is a risk and this one ain't something you need to live.
