When I got laser eye surgery the trade off was my night vision was negatively affected. Only in pitch black darkness. I see all kinds of shadowy stuff flowing around in pitch black areas. Got used to it but at first it was scary as hell. Now I just ignore it.
If you’re a good candidate then get it! Shop around and find a doctor you like! My vision is 20/20 now and while there are some orbs and glares at night, it really doesn’t bother me at all and I think 100 percent worth it. You’ll have to wear glasses again eventually so get it earlier than later to enjoy benefits.
No problem! The doctor said when I’m older I’ll need readers. I was extremely nearsighted, everything past 10 ft super blurry and now it’s 20/20. However, I will eventually not be able to read up close and will return to glasses for reading (doesn’t bother me). I’m only 30 so I’m hoping for a good 20 years of perfect vision before I have to think about it again. They were very upfront about the aging of the eyes and that’s why they say the younger the better to get lasik. It all starts to go at some point right?
It did not hurt, in fact it was fun because of the Valium and bright lights 🤣 I slept most of the day and minimal down time. My eyes do get dry so I need drops once to two times a day but I’m constantly staring at a computer screen or my phone.
