so laser eye surgery is a scam right? 2 ppl I know who had it (LASIK and SMILE) are now stuck with dry eyes and regret ever doing it
also most forums discussing it are spammed to death by advertisers preteding to be after fully succesful surgery with zero complications
did anyone here have it and has zero issues with eyes now?
So laser eye surgery is a scam right...

Garbage that only lasts for 5-10 years and the procedure can only be performed about 2-3 times before there isn't any more cornea to cut away. You're looking at chronic dry eye, rapid deterioration of vision as you age, extremely increased incidents of infection. Surgical procedures and diagnostic criteria are much easier to get through FDA approval as the complications do not manifest until a few years later or, any complications are merely labeled as "post surgical" and part of the "recovery phase", an is to "be expected"; try that with a pharmotheraputic, and it would fail approval. If you live in a humid area where there is any mold whatsoever, you risk the fungal keratitis and permanent blindness. Once you have maxed out the surgery, or if your cornea was too thin in the first place, you're forced to wear glasses and cannot wear contacts to hide your vision problems, even so called high permeable, without risking further apoptosis and rapid deterioration of whatever the hell is left of your cornea. This newest approval solves nothing. It simply provides a better cut so the odds of it being botched are lower. It will still begin to falter after just a few years and eventually the flap that was created will warp, and new vessels will start to grow below it, and you'll need it performed again.
LASIK and PKR are smoke and mirrors for brainlets too stupid to understand the complex anatomy of the eye and how the procedures are even performed, it sounds fancy and they say DUUUUDE SCIENCE!!! Virtually all ophthalmologists that do not perform these surgeries are vehemently against it, and most intelligent optometrists will strongly warn against it too. It's ironic too, because many ophthalmologists are myopic yet refuse to have the procedure done.
You only have one set of eyes, that give you the remarkable gift of vision to see the world around you. Don't ruin them.

Austin Young
it's not just that
look how ophthalmologist always have glasses instead of eye surgery
look how all discussion on popular boards regarding are just shills trolling shills
how every method (PRK/LASIK/SMILE) gets hundreds of differently named variants but advertised as something completely different and safe even though its all almost the same surgery
all this looks scummy as fuck and you can see something is wrong even if you have zero medical knowledge on the issue

Get glasses. Cheap, simple, and doesn't require cutting anything.
Even eyelet commercial pilots fly in glasses, since there is a risk of creating blind spots, which is unacceptable.
If you can fix with glasses - fix it with glasses, or lenses if you like itchy feeling.

Pretty much. You WILL be going back for more every 5-10 years until they tell you your cornea is now too thin and they'll try to sell you on more painful PRK. You'll also have halos around streetlights, and endless dry eyes. Just fucking stick to glasses or contacts if your vision is bad for fucks sake.
