"HI, I just wanted to know about the risks of LASIK surgery. But couldn't find any recently updated threads here about LASIK. So I think I should start a new thread.
My story began when I started wearing glasses in high school. Even though I never liked wearing glasses. Had to use them because I was very nearsighted. And since I'm careless I had to change my glasses occasionally. Then I thought contact lenses will be good and started using it. However, contact lenses were worse than glasses. Wearing them was really difficult. Whenever I wear them it made my eyes dry along with irritation and burning. Lenses popping out from the eyes was another problem. Now that I'm starting med school, I need to solve this problem. I mean, every med student should have excellent eyesight. And both glasses and contact lenses are not convenient options for me.
So I decided to go to an eye and cosmetic clinic in Toronto for LASIK eye surgery. I heard people saying that LASIK surgery is not a safe procedure. And it might make our vision worse. Also heard the reasons why you shouldn't do it. But some people are saying that now that we have bladeless LASIK surgery there is no need to panic. So I just want to know your opinion in doing LASIK. What do you guys think?"
