I mean you only have 1 set of eyes and they can't be replace.
What if something went wrong during the surgery?

No, even if I were a good candidate, which I'm not.

I'm not a gambler, even at those odds.
It's exactly the opposite of a big lottery:
there the odds are terrible, but you're only betting a dollar or a pound.
With laser treatment the odds are superb, but you're staking your eyesight.

And I've seen the corneas that can result, and the problems that can cause, personally.

Yes I would. In fact, i am currently saving up to get it done. It is a bit risky, but if it works right, as most cases do, it would mean a freedom that I haven't felt since I was 12. It would be so great to be able to be able to look up at the sky when it is raining and be able to see it without raindrops clouding up my glasses. Or be able to shave my legs in the shower and actually be able to see what I am doing. I would love to be able to go to the store and get any pair of sunglasses I want without having to worry about getting them in prescription. It would mean being able to go swimming and be able to see the people's faces around me when I pop my head out of the water. People could see the color of my eyes, not the glasses in front of them. These may seem like little things that don't really matter in the scheme of things, but to me it would definitely be worth it.

see i think its great, but you have to take into account that one mistake can cause permenant eye impairment

Heya everyone, I did a research about LASIK thing since im planning to compact to the procedure next month ( im a little nervous about it) that is why i decided to rummage around facts as I can in regards to its advantages and disadvantages outcome. And I found out that the disadvantages of it like the healing of the eye thing involves a careful regimen by the patient and close monitoring by your surgeon for several months following the procedure. Also, depending on the size of the patient's pupil, "night glare" may occur in low light, especially in the days immediately following your procedure. Furthermore, each patient has individual healing characteristics so it means that not all people done this had or have the same effects after or same healing experience after but in the long run I also found the advantages of it, the entire procedure is painless and very fast - less than ten minutes, during which use of the laser beam lasts about 15 - 40 seconds, 98% of typical patients achieve 20/40 or better vision, which enables the patient to drive and participate in sports without the need for glasses or contact lenses, corneal strength is preserved and vision remains stable years after LASIK, it corrects myopia with or without astigmatism, and hyperopia with or without Astigmatism . So I do believe that this will serve as I guide to everyone who plan to have it. BTW wish me luck for my surgery next month im 102 % sure that I will go for it. I want to see and do things without those glasses and contacts. Wish me luck. Ohh BTW here’s a link my2020 in case you want to have a wide understanding about LASIK.
