>>16174995I had it done a few months ago. My reasoning wasn't cosmetic, I know there's a good chance we will have collapse in the next 10 years and I didn't know how easily I'd be able to find an optometrist/afford a pair of glasses if mine got fucked up. Less shit to worry about, because seeing clearly is important.
Surgery took less than 30 mins. It was uncomfortable and a little stressful but not painful at all and over quickly.
I had 20/15 vision upon walking out of the operating room. No blindfold recovery bullshit.
They said my eyes would feel like dogshit for days and then weeks possibly. Did not occur for me, I took the little antibiotic and steroid drops they gave me and kept my shit lubed up and they were healed in like 2 days, no pain just dry eye every once in a while.
The only effects I've noticed:
>Night driving is different because of fuzzy light halos around car headlights and streetlights. Not as annoying as I was expecting and I've gotten used to it already. If I look at a bright full moon, I still have a slight double projection of it and it is halo-d. Oh well.>My eyes have been fluctuating in strength/ability back and forth since the surgery as they recalibrate. First my right was still dominant, then I noticed lefty ascending in power after a few weeks, now it's shifting back. They say this is normal for the first few months.Tl;dr it's worth it in my opinion. If you can afford it, do it.
