To get lasik surgery done is like a dream for every bespectacled person. People have no idea how wearing glasses can affect lives. It is uncomfortable, annoying, physically restrictive.... we are handicapped. I seriously think that I am legally blind, because without my glasses, I simply cannot function.
Back to my story, the first time that I have ever thought at all about this LASIK was when I was at Sunway. This was when I stumbled upon a LASIK center next (left) to the pyramid. They advertised it as a miracle.... lose your glasses after painless 30 minute surgery... or something like that. And its somewhat affordable too.
However, I did quite a research on this back then, and found out what they didnt tell us. LASIK is much more risky than advertised. Complications are all too common, from severely dry eyes and astig to total blindness. The percentage of people who got blind due to LASIK was high too.... but forgot how much... Furthermore, if the surgery was successful, it doesnt guarantee that you dont need glasses. If I am not mistaken, 100% of people who need reading glasses, after LASIK, will still need some sort of aid(glasses) for perfect vision.
Anyways, my public service announcement is, if you think of getting LASIK done, do your research, and get a lot of professional opinion.
