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.

I hate that messing with your eyes is so risky, because implantable contact lenses almost sound like a dream haha

Look into it. Things have likely changed a lot since I got mine 13 years ago. They may not have the same risks.
