You're born with 2 eyes, once they're gone, that's it. No one knows the results of this surgery after 10, 15, 20 years. It might reverse itself. And you can NEVER wear contacts again.

As bad as my eyes are, I'll NEVER chance ruining them for the chance of perfect vision. I don't trust this surgery for a minute.
I definately have to agree with this. The two minutes I spend putting on my contacts in the morning is nothing. I do a lot of reading, and that, in turn, affects your eyes. Your eyesight may revert after the surgery, then you'll have to wear glasses, because you won't be able to put contacts in your eyes. The surgery changes the shape of your eye... I think it flattens in out, which makes wearing contacts impossible. Some places do lifetime vision correction... But you know, with inflation, that can always change. Ten years down the line, you get a letter in the mail- "We no longer do lifetime corrections. Have a nice day!" And then, well, if you want to see, you need to wear glasses. Sometimes it doesn't work at all, and people end up haveing to wear glasses for the rest of their lives. It's just not worth it. The fact that there is ANY CHANCE that I might go blind, or have my eyes permanently damaged by this surgery turns me off to the idea right away. I hope that made some sense. !Estoy Cansado!
