Should I get Laser eye surgery?
I have already been cleared by a doctor who says I am a good candidate for no cut Lasik but I'm still having major reservations. For one, I've had glasses and contacts for pretty much my whole life, ever since the second grade. My vision is very poor without my contacts in but that has never bothered me at all. It's just natural to me, a part of who I am. As silly as it sounds I worry about not liking being able to see clearly all the time. Secondly, issues that you hear about, like hazing and eye dryness would be irrevocable if it happened. I would be so annoyed if I paid all that money just to have a debilitating condition that would be worse than my nearsightedness for the rest of my life. Like my family keeps reminding me every time I bring it up, "You only get one pair." Thirdly, for me this is purely a cost issue. In three or four years it costs more to have glasses and contacts than it does to just go and get it done. But is that really a good reason to put your eyes at risk? Please leave the "contacts are risky" comments be because I take very good care of mine so they aren't. And it would be really helpful if someone who has already done it would give me their opinion. Thank you, : ).
