“Couldn’t see much past a foot without contacts or glasses. Got lasik, and it’s night and day difference. Been over a decade, and I still have 20/20 vision. So worth it!”

“Easily one of the best decisions I made. My eyesight was nearing legally blind (-9/-9.5), so my point of view may be more biased. Even years later, there are still days where I just remember that in the past how much contacts might complicate small things and am still happy I don’t have to worry about it. And with my prescription and the cost for contacts/glasses, it’s more or less paid for itself.
Not only do I not worry about it, but I get a little happy boost that I don’t have to worry about [my vision] — that I can go to read before bed without glasses falling off my face and not having to get up once I’m tired. I can crash at someone’s place without worrying about irritation. I don’t have to worry about packing spares and solution for any short or long trips. It’s just so nice to have another thing off my plate.”
