The technology is still pretty new.
You don't know the side-effects of it 30-40 years after the surgery.
it's all up to you but I personally would not get them.

She has to use reading glasses sometimes now because she got older but she was pretty close to legally blind before so it seems like a fine deal. | ||

are you going for lasik or lasek? also theres some other things they can do, i read about these mini contact inserts they stick into ur eye that act as normal contacts except they are under the surface so u dont take them out. also, if ur eyes get worse, they can remove them easily and insert new ones to fit your grade. pretty sweet | ||

I'm not sure if it was lasik or lasek - it was where they cut open my eye and inserted something and then closed it again. regardless, it's great. I was -4.5 in both eyes before I did this. | ||

one of the best investments i've ever made. My vision is perfect (20/15 actually :O) It still boggles my mind that i can see (better than i could with contacts or glasses, no less). you need to take 48 hours off of work. If you work at a computer screen, 72 hours might be better. | ||

Anyways I seem to have got it for a lot less than most people do ($2000), but it was phenomenal. They say that 10 years from now I'll probably have to use glasses for reading, but that is a small price to pay for not having to wear those hell frames every day. I was off for maybe a couple days? One for the surgery in the morning, then the next day, then the weekend went by then I was at work like nothing happened. | ||

Super happy with their results. And of course you'll be out of action for a few days. Pacific Eye Center? That's where i went too. | ||

I had gotten to the point with contacts where they would hurt my eyes to have them in all day. Glasses suck for me, I just can't keep them on my face. It was interfering with work and I could not work out and was frustrated. Anyways I seem to have got it for a lot less than most people do ($2000), but it was phenomenal.

I say do it. It's amazing to not have to put in contacts or wear glasses... and be able to wake up and open your eyes and SEE. | ||

Also, what are the short-term (besides some eye dryness and possible infection) and long-term side effects? (long-term as in, 20-30 years later on) | ||
