@AWAYD why are you able to see better after LASIK? Did you not wear glasses before? You sound more like a first time glasses wearer that someone who had LASIK done.
Also $1000 a year for someone who has glasses? I've had 2 pairs over the past 10 years. They were about $200 a pair so it'd take me close too 100 years to become cost effective. And like Dan pointed out the small percent who have complications such as blurred night vision, how is it worth it?
Eta- I heard the instance of comolcation is less than 1 in 1000 so its less than 1%...
You sound more like a first time glasses wearer that someone who had LASIK done. - LOL. I was wearing glasses since I was 11, until the time when I was 29. So yes, I probably sound like a 1st timer.
Glasses give you just frontal correction -- I am sure you know this - your peripheral vision is not corrected. Also, you clearly missing my point-- if you live active lifestyle-- no way you can have just 2 glasses for 10 years. Vision changes over time. If you ride a motorcycle-- having glasses sucks, + overall driving requires peripheral vision unless your only driving is in the village. Add here tennis, swimming, volleyball, scuba & sky diving and you have my reasons why
a. you are missing out if you have to use glasses
b. you definitely have extra costs - broken classes, contacts lost in the water, extra stuff like special helmet visors, scuba masks etc
Regarding the side effects -- had none - not even a headache 1st 2 days after the surgery -- I still have the Vicodin they gave me
At the same token - I am not saying this is something comparable to buying an ice cream - if you re-read my post - took me 5 years to decide
