I suggest wait on the surgery and hope that better treatments and less invasive surgeries come in the future.
I went to school with someone (late 1970’s) who wanted to get cut and stitch eye surgery so he could pass the commercial pilots exam.
This was before laser eye surgery came in.
I don’t know what happened, but I would not have had that scalpel eye surgery no matter who was doing it.
“I would not have had that scalpel eye surgery no matter who was doing it.”
That’s where I am, too. The doc said he can scrape a couple of microns (that’s one-thousandth of a millimeter!) off my retina. That alone worried me as does the incision. No thanks for now.
Doc even said I was making the right decision as long as it is in the “nuisance” stage now.
