LASIK is one of the cheapest, easiest, and best surgeries you can get with insane boost to your QoL
Had LASIK Eye Surgery 3 months ago as a 21 year old and the quality of life improvement was quite insane for as blind as I was.
Astigmatism in both eyes, and very mild amblyopia in my left eye. For CUSTOM LASIK AND Lifetime Touch up (LASIK downgrades as you age, 20 years usually, so they'll correct my vision AGAIN "free") all for $3,851.79 USD. You can pay 0% Interest over months if you cannot afford upfront (brutal economy we are in)
One of the cheapest and most impactful surgery, when talking to women I could even make out their faces from 2-5 meters away, it was all a blurry. Glasses hide your eyebrows and make you look so gay, its a huge looks min. I had to get rid of them.
The Process
For those scared of LASIK Eye Surgery, it's really not as bad as you think. My surgeon did it the old fashion way and manually cut the cornea flap, your eyes are numb via numbing drops, and they give you Ativan (which why wouldn't I, knocks you right out after surgery and makes you calm during.)
Numbed eye right before surgery
These Surgeons are loaded, the surgery is 5 minutes and was like hundreds of people coming in and out. The only part where you feel ANYTHING is when they suction your eye, this is where they stabilizes the eye, you feel a pressure and a sting for a few seconds, quit being a pussy it's one time for incredible results. This will track your eye incase you move too much, it has insane precision so if somehow you moved your NUMBED eye it will stop and recalibrate. And the MTB Russian and Ukrainian Nurses are a good calming aid.
Once they cut a small flap in your cornea, they lift it up, and you basically see this:
Then this cool laser comes down and zaps your eye and you get this weird smell, like smell of burning (even though its not actually burning, its just breaking apart collagen). Once the laser is done they flip your cornea back over and you can INSTANTLY already see better, but they have you close your eye anyway. They do the other eye, same process, and boom, you are done within 5 minutes.
After Surgery
You have a small blood or healing "scar" in your eye (only one eye for me) for a week or two, then it goes completely away.
You will have halo's over lights (you get used to this) for the first 2 weeks, and after a month they are tolerable, and will fully go away within 4-12 months. You basically have to bed rot for 2-3 days after surgery to allow for optimal cornea healing until you can use your phone or any screen, you have to use their provided glasses as well.
Don't mean to sound like a faggot here, but once I actually saw for the first time 20/20 it was incredible. I could see the stars in the sky, I could see far signs, I could see myself in the mirror from far away, it has been a huge confidence and general improvement to my life that I cannot recommend this surgery enough for others here with bad eyes.
10/10 would do again
