How long did recovery take? I also hear it generally restores vision a lot but not necessarily 100%, more like enough to not really need glasses. I would ask "so what do you tell the DMV now that you no longer need them, you just take the little letters eye test right there and they strike it from your license?" but if you just got it you wouldn't know

I got the procedure 23 hours ago and my vision is really good now. Keep in mind, I still have a protective lens that make my vision blurry because my eyes get irritated easily, but compared to 2 days ago, I can see much further away. I'm getting that len remove tommorow so my vision is going to be even better. I can drive myself after day 1 100%. That being said I'm still wearing sunglasses indoors to make sure it heals fully the first week. Just take your prescription meds they give you and you're good.

About the DMV question, I never had glasses, but I got multiple eye exams to make sure they can get my prescription prior to the surgery. The eye doctors questioned how the hell I was able to drive and why my state didn't require a renewal yet. I said my license expires every 8 years rather than 4.

I just want to know if you looked into PRK first. I’m torn between the two.

>>18659944
I got PRK on mine. Shit is totally worth it, and you can wear sunglasses now without them being wildly expensive.

>>18660102
PRK is better if you're going to go to high altitudes and get banged around. Military paid for mine. It's the only laser eye surgery they will accept.

>>18660102
I just happen to qualify for Lasik and was pretty adamant about getting it. From my understanding, PRK are for people with thin cornea or need less correction.

contacts work well enough if you just want vapid pussy
you dont need new prescriptions every year
you might still need glasses after lasik
sorry, not taking the chance

>>18659944
I would get PRK over LASIK personally
I tried to in the army because it would have been free and did the consultation and everything but was rejected for being "high risk of complications" due to my cornea's shape or something, I didn't fully understand.
Bummer but whatever

>>18660124
>high risk of complications
They told me the exact same thing, but I got a second opinion and got LASIK right away

Imagine her waking up to you figeting with your little contact container

>>18659946
About a day for me. Could see very well the day of actually but there is a fair bit of discomfort. I could drive the next day no problem.

Had "halos" around light sources at night for a few months after but that eventually went away.

I regret not getting it sooner.

>>18660130
you can sleep with them for a night or three without issues

Or you can just get the surgery and not be a vulnerable everytime you lose your vision

I have retro frames like this. I like the idea of glasses sometimes, and a lot of women have complemented me on them in the past.

>>18660152
because you do not need a somewhat risky operation to not look like any of the three things OP listed

>>18659944
If you don't look good with glasses (when you have a fitting frame for the face and hair), then you probably don't look good at all.

>>18660129
>>18660124
They're full of shit. The whole point of PRK is that it works on patients that are not good fits for LASIK.

Isn't SMILE like the superior procedure nowadays?
It's not invasive pike PRK nor does it leave a flap like LASIK.

>>18659944
I heard they make your eyes go bad 10 years down the road or cause other problems, something about night vision or driving at night? Is this true LASIK bro? Also how bad were your eyes? I'm a -6.

>>18660130
you should be using daily disposable ones anyway. IDK it's never been a problem for me, you fuck them, if they stay the night they see you looking daddy in your glasses reading the paper the next morning. It's never not gotten me more pussy.

>>18660878
>you're full of shit
Shut the fuck you stupid retarded faggot. Are you my doctor? Did you interpret my eye scans? Fucking dumbass
And this is a doctor for military patients who do NOT get paid per procedure like regular doctors. They have no incentive to make you get an unnecessary procedure
God, I swear the people on this board are some the biggest retards on the planet

You have to be awake for the procedure right? No thanks, I don't like the idea of someone fiddling with my eyes while I'm under, much less while I'm awake.

>>18661063
I didn't say you were full of shit, fucking ASVAB waiver.
>And this is a doctor for military patients who do NOT get paid per procedure
Which is why they told you that you can't get it.

>>18659944
$3,800+ for the procedure??
I got it done last year and paid $0 thanks to my work insurance.

>>18659944
I got LASIK a few years ago. One of the best things I ever did, DESU.

>>18661152
It does not hurt. It is more weird than anything.

>>18661152
pussy, 10 minutes of discomfort is worth the life changing result

>>18661152
I was offered valium beforehand, which I took. Whole procedure is done by two machines in maybe 5 minutes? No pain during but discomfort afterwards for better part of a day.

Based. Glasses are retarded, incelcore. I wear contacts to cope not looking like a chud.

I don't see the point. Both my mother and an uncle of mine had it done. They were back to contacts/glasses within 5 years.

>>18661473
Glasses are based; contacts are cope.

>>18661482
Because they are old as fuck. Judging on how stupid you are, I'm guessing your like 30-40 years old.

>>18660130
You are deeply insecure and fucked in the head.

Yes, but at least I got 20/15 vision and essentially telescoping vision

>>18661152
It's painless unless you count the eye clamps stretching your eyeballs. >>18661456
More like 1-3 minutes.

>>18660123
>you dont need new prescriptions every year
It's called an annual eye exam for a reason

>>18662685
Because the Jewy eye specialists need you to come back and give them more money (for something you didn't even need).

>>18662686
>Essentially blind with/and without glasses
>Wears glasses
>Blame everything on jews
We're not on /pol/, chud

>>18662374
They were in their early 30s. I was like 12 years old. LASIK has been around since the 80s, my man. Both were back to contacts and glasses in short order. Even were that not the case, you have to wonder what the point of this surgery is if it can't correct poor vision in the first place.

>>18663169
It makes you not glasses dependants

I'm contemplating it. I was skeptical but my dad got LASIK (or that other one they do, idk specifically) like 15 years ago and never had a single issue.

>>18663184
Just do it, you're still young. If you have insurance, just utilize it for something life changing than glasses

>Americans need a prescription and yearly check-up just to wear contact lenses
Grim

>>18663406
I'm not American but I'm pretty fucking sure that's bullshit.
