In 2019 I got laser eye surgery.

There was a solid few months where my eyes were so red you could tell I had forsaken the light and joined the dark side.

#LaserEyeSurgery surgery is leaving many patients with life changing injuries and some suicidal, yet they are not warned of the risks by the surgeons selling the procedure.

I didn't know about any of this when I asked my #opthalmologist what she though about it about 15 years ago, but what she told me about it - even when successful - meant I didn't ever consider it again.

Even when #Lasik works you will probably have to wear glasses later so why risk your way of life?

The patients who regret laser eye surgery: ‘My life’s stood still since then’

Surgeons view Lasik as routine, but patient advocates and some experts say the complication rate is far higher than reported

Don't get #lasereyesurgery #lasik sucks #PRK seems better?

Just a summary. This is why I don't ever want to get the surgery.

Laser eye surgery made my vision WORSE

I can apply, but wow my prescription does not help. Cant afford that now, but one day it would be nice to not have #glasses

Was interesting getting home. Walking with my eyes closed all the way home since it was burning death if i kept them open. lucky I know the way 😉
