LASIK, go for it. I did it, don't regret it.

I'm scared that something would go wrong and ruin my life
I've read some horror stories on Reddit, I know these cases are rare but what if I end up as one of these people.

ophtalmologist on reddit said the risk of complications from wearing contacts is higher than lasik

tfw you're not a candidate for LASIK and have to get PRK instead .

do you have a source? it doesn't have to be from reddit, just anywhere that says eye contacts are statistically more dangourues than LASIK

I had it a month ago, no side effects besides higher sensitivity to chemicals and oils around eye

I mean lasik takes a few seconds and then it's done whereas you wear contacts all the time so it makes sense

How old were you when you did it?

Yes LASIK is worth it. Both soft and hard contact lenses apparently increase scleral show

What about lense implants

PRK has less chance of something going wrong from what I've read, I got normal LASIK and don't regret it all OP

idk bro lasik is pretty scary. I wouldnt want to mess with my eyes like that considering the possible side effects. you could just fix your eyesight naturally like i have though

Its exceedingly rare to happen. Have in mind you'll have a corneal flap that might come off because it was weakened structurally but as I said before its beyond rare, but never 0%. Anyways, just go for someone who has done a lot of them and you'll be good.

Sometimes we have to risk it to get it.
