As one data point, my brother had a corneal issue that persisted for quite a while and now has to use eye drops every morning or he has severe dryness issues. But generally, I hear amazing things.

it's telling that a bunch of doctors who perform these surgeries still wear glasses (but seriously: lack of longitudinal data is what should give you pause)

I’ve wanted LASIK for years, every time I look into it 96% of people say it’s the best decision they’ve ever made. The other 4% have horrible side effects that never recover. I’m an unlucky person 😅, so contacts for me

pls get the tests that confirm your eligibility for lasik(mainly topo and pachy) at two different places to compare results before you go for it. learned this the hard way, living with consequences for 10 years now.

I can tell you a story of my friend but it will terrify you to your very core. If you want to know then google corneal neuropathy. Long story short, after 6yrs of nightmare she’s doing okay but she will be on meds for the rest of her life.

edge case but if you do contact sports you should get PRISM or PRK instead of LASIK

My friend who did it claim he was blind for about a day after the intervention, than best decision that he made. That one day is enough for me not to take the risk x)

I have been forced to always wear red glasses, and for some reason i frequently don yellow tighty whities and blue spandex, oh and i have developed a questionable leadership approach while having my personal relationship erode away... Other then that...

(5 years in) a serious downside I haven’t anticipated at all is that you start to notice TOO MUCH. Overwhelming amount of detail. (i’ve got perfect, aka “diffraction-limited only” vision from what I understand) Latest lasik versions cover a large FOV so the night vision aint as impacted as stories say btw
