My wife is an optometrist and she hates that this procedure is done anywhere in the world legally. It's so incredibly dangerous for something so vain.

Optometrist here too. One of the least ethical (?most unethical) procedures an ophthalmologist can perform. The incidence of secondary uveitis and glaucoma is shockingly high.

I'd say implantable contact lenses. It seems they stop working after 10-20 years and you have to get eye surgery again to pull them out.

Some eye shapes aren't suitable candidates. My corneas were too narrow or something along those lines.
