They said 4 day recovery, with full vision back within a week for this type of surgery.my brother just had it done - you just walk in and you're out an hour later with sun glasses and perfect vision WTF
I figured they'd come up with robot eyes in like 10 years if they fuck it up. I'll learn some braille until then.I heard you can get haloing or whatever it's called so I'm too scared to try it. My vision is already fucked enough. Good luck though op.
That's great but it isn't always that easy. So you could have no problems and the OP might have many. It's up to him if he wants to risk thatI did LASIK two years ago and my vision has been 20/20 and without any dry eyes or anything else.
I had mine done 10 years ago, Couldn't have a laser to cut my lens open, so they did it with a knife (takes longer to heal and you get to see someone stab you in the eye)
Altering the cornea is why I'm also in two minds about it.Cutting a flap in your lens is something that can heal, burning away a part of your cornea isn't.
Yeah they said I had to be at least -3 to get that due to structural integrity of the eye, but I'm only like -1.75.Got SMILE done. Took about 3 months for my eyes to stabilize. I went from wearing glasses since I was 7, to -7.5 in each eye, to not wearing any at all.
The best way i can describe it is like going from a shitty 27inch CRT to an OLED 4k UHD screen overnight. Changed my life convenience wise and saved me a shit load of money in glasses and contact lenses.
Watching TV in a dark room is painful even without any surgery, unless you dial down brightness to near 0. Why couldn't you just set contrast, brightness and back-light very low? TV becomes almost black when you set everything to zero.It took 48 hours before I could watch TV with shades on in a dark room.
Don't care. No one is fucking touching my eyes with a blade.
Why? What's the issue? How is it any different from getting any other kind of surgery?
Well, I can only pray you never contract any serious eye illness or suffer any injury, especially as you get older (cataract, sparks from fire or fireworks, splinters, cork from a bottle etc.).It is a religious thing. No one touches my eyes, fingertips or tip of my penis with a blade.
No exception.
Other areas of the body are ok for surgery.

Don't see how healing can lead anyone to hell and damnation.Sure.
At least my pure eyes, fingertips and penis will let me enter heaven.
Small price to pay to not go to hell and damnation.
It's like a fear of flying. Planes might not go down that often, but when they do you're usually fucked. And well, if your eyes get fucked up in any way and you become blind, you're going to hate yourself because the surgery wasn't even a necessity.Watching TV in a dark room is painful even without any surgery, unless you dial down brightness to near 0.

Why? What's the issue? How is it any different from getting any other kind of surgery? My mom works as a head nurse in the ophthalmology ward for over 30 years now. Does dozens of operations per week without any issues. Eye is pretty easy to operate on generally speaking.
Sure, but you can say that about literally anything. You might die during pretty much any surgery or activity for that matter. You might slip in your tub tonight and kill yourself.It's like a fear of flying. Planes might not go down that often, but when they do you're usually fucked.

The thought of smelling my burning eyeballs while I’m awake makes me ill. I can’t imagine putting myself through that shit. Rather not even have eyesight than suffer that.

You are saying right now A 4kOLED does not look any better than a 27in CRT? That seems like I will save heaps of money!

Same hereI did LASIK two years ago and my vision has been 20/20 and without any dry eyes or anything else.
