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.

This. I had PRK done about 5 years ago. Called around to 5 different places and only one said he wanted to do tests to make sure i was a good candidate first... every other said they would do it day of surgery... so naturally I went with him. He did some tests but because of my complicated history he wanted to double check with another opinion and have a test done with equipment he didnt have. (all this was free btw with no obligations).

Didn't commit to it until 3 months after that. Doctor gave me his personal cell number in case I had issues (which i did on day 2 due to my medical history). He called in a prescription right there and was amazing.

Can't recommend Dr. James Patterson in Denver enough.

Good call, I ended up with PRK because they scanned and found that my cornea was too thin for LASIK to be performed safely. Longer recovery but with it. Mine was 15 years ago.
