I doubt that her vision was the core reason for her actions. It’s always deeper than the apparent.

I agree. But not all eye surgery goes well. I had PRK a lot time ago and ended up with corneal haze. It took another laser surgery (by a more competent doctor) to remove it. For a while there, I had extremely poor vision in one eye with no guarantee it would ever improve. After all that time, money and worry, my vision in that eye was worse than what it was before the initial surgery.

I can tell you, our son had lasik surgery, and his eyes are so dry, it is unbearable. He isn't suicidal but it is so painful.

I suspect she had other problems and the dryness put her over the edge.

Met a teenager who had it done, (ethical eye surgeons wait until the patient is 24 yo.) and her eyes were so unconformable she had to put college off for a year.

I get bouts of severe dry eye only lasting a few days and it’s misery. Can’t imagine months.

My kids know if they ever get Lasik I will never speak to them again. It’s not worth the risk.
