Everyone says it's painless. Sure it's annoying but so is having to put contact lenses on all the time. I'd rather be scared for 9 minutes than half blind for the rest of my life.

I can easily wear contacts 2 weeks long, then I just need 10 secs to change them :/

I've heard it's a bad idea *usually* to sleep with contact lenses on. They can dry and stick to your eye which leads to things that will require...

LASIK Eye Surgery!!

Oh the horrrorr!!

But really, not everyone has contacts that you can leave on (up until now I didn't even know about them, had to google it). And glasses are annoying sometimes as well..No glasses and no contacts for one small, painless surgery. Easy choice.

Yep you can. It's not advised with the cheap ones though. You also have special night contacts, which you only need to wear at night. In the day you can see everything clearly then :)

Well they aren't really called 24/7 contacts, but sort of 100% oxygen contacts. I can easily wear them day and night, but I've heard other people can't. Pretty much depends on your eye. If you want I can look up the full name of the contacts, since I got them in Holland :D

For all the people freaking out about it, they do now have non-invasive lasik eye treatments... which means NO cutting..

Im glad i still have near perfect vision.

i'dd def want this, but gosh... seeing tools come at your eye, i'dd be scared shitless xD

But yeah, like said before : Rather scared shitless for 9 minutes, then having a blurry vision all your life, the pleasure of good eyes is just too great.

Yeah the price is also high too. It's like $2000 per eye for the surgery with only lasers and about $1600 per eye for the one shown in the video. Thats actually quit a lot if insurance doesn't cover it, I would probably rather live with glass's/contact's for a few years and wait for the price to go down.

Living with glasses/contacts for a few years is not really that much cheaper than getting the operation.

Well depending on how well you take care of glass's they can last for 3-4 years easily. If your number is changing a lot then that might be a good reason to get the surgery, but other then that I think if you buy a nice pair of glass's take good care of them for like 4 years then the surgery price will have gone down significantly.

You can't get the surgery if your eyes are still changing. But you're right, glasses and contacts don't really cost 4k in a couple of years. I was exaggerating.
