    LASIK.

    I was scared of the procedure. What if it messed up and now I had permanent eye damage???

    In reality, it took like 15 minutes and now I can see in the morning, ditch the whole contact lens daily ritual, and (most importantly to me) wear fun sunglasses right off the rack.

    If you’re thinking about it, just do it. I wish I had done it WAY sooner.

        Got it done during the summer of the pandemic in 2020 - the LASIK place was offering an insane deal since their sales had dropped to like zero. Not just a crazy price but also lifetime touch-ups if the sight degraded to the point of needing it.

        I can still see insanely clear and far. No need for a touch up yet and it’s been 5 years.

        Only downside is that I am starting to hit the age where I need reading glasses - no surgery for that. But I love not needing distance glasses or contacts for driving.
