I am deeply distrustful of this operation. I am afraid we will wake up one day and have a slew of dang near blind people to deal with.
But I know a lot of people who swear by it.
I will keep my glasses, but that is because I don’t like anyone messing with my eyes.
I am sure there will be a lot of folk to hop on and give you thumbs up.
As with all important things in life, it is a risk/reward where only you can evaluate the calculated result.
This surgery has been done for over 30 years. They do eye surgery all the time? The only people that talk bad about it are those who sell eyeglasses.
My vision has been horrible since I was around 4. It was soooo bad that without contacts or glasses, looking at the huge E on the eyechart I couldn’t even see any black, just blurry white. It was worse that 20/500. After being in a tremor in a San Fran hotel on a trip I realized that anything like a fire or earthquake could put me in harm’s way as I couldn’t see anything past about 2 inches in front of my nose. So, I had Z lazer and wow wow wow. I still can’t believe it!! I can see!!! Before this, it was forever bloodshot eyes, infections from inadvertedly touching my contacts if something got under them, fumbling for my glasses, losing contacts, having to make midnight runs for contact solution when I was out- not to mention $800 glasses every other year and about $400 yearly for contacts and solutions. I realize there are risks with everything- it was the right decision for me.
And to Bonnie who called me four eyes in second grade- (giving middle finger).
