        Got lasik two years ago and no regrets. It’s life changing. Just need to find an excellent doctor. I was scared before I got it but I’m glad I did.

        Had it 10 years ago. It’s easy to make it sound scary when you compare it to healthy 20/20 eyes. But my sight was awful. I had problems seeing with my glasses, including issues with depth perception. For most, it’s a major life improvement.

        Medical mistakes are the number one cause of death in the U.S.. That tells you all you need to know, about modern medicine. It’s a business.

        I had Lasik in 2006. No regrets but I will say that it took 3 months for complete healing and my eyes are a bit dryer now.
