I bought cast iron pan which I think is the best ever purchase I made.
Lasik. Being able to wake up in the morning and just see things with zero effort was life changing.
I’ve gotta chime in here with an opposing viewpoint. I got all laser lasik and while it mostly corrected my myopia (went from -5 to -0.5 sph), it gave me really bad astigmatism, to the point where night driving is much more dangerous for me. Glasses were a pain in the ass but at least they made things crystal clear. Post surgery everything except bright sunlight now has an annoying halo. I’m 3 years post surgery btw, and went back under the laser twice to try to get it corrected.
That scares me. I also have family members who got it decades back and for the most part they all still have to use glasses.
I have ridiculously bad vision (-9.5 contact prescription) and bad astigmatism already, thankfully every optometrist ever has told me I’m a horrible candidate for it so I’ve never even had the possibility in my mind.
I just asked my eye doctor about this yesterday. She said LASIK would correct myopia for 10-15 years, then it’ll start coming back. She also said everyone loses up close eyesight about 45 so you’ll have to wear glasses or contacts anyway. Said it’s only worth it if you really want to see without putting on glasses.
