>>2862057I could not read a book without glasses before LASIK, because I would have had to hold it so close it would blur the text. If you have moderate nearsightedness, and you don't have crazy astigmatism (I think that's a bit harder to fully fix), I highly recommend LASIK. Just make sure to see an opthalmologist and ask them any questions you have. They have to scan your eyes to make sure your corneas are sturdy enough to handle lasering. As I said, dry eye is really common, you will likely need moisture drops for a few months, and possibly forever, but totally worth it.
Remember, the surgery takes 5 minutes, it doesnt hurt at all (your eyes will fill with blood which is spooky, but not painful). And once it is done, your vision is fixed. You won't be able to drive for a few days, and I remember being very sensitive to light so it took me a while to readjust to driving, but again, my nearsightedness was on the edge of severe.
That all said, in the meantime, maybe you should invest in rx goggles. You sound pretty serious about this, and I'm amazed you did it without them. There's sort of a point of cold weather where you just need them.
