Careful man
My dad got lasik a few years ago, cause of cataracts. Last week he had to get emergency surgery because of a detached retina. It increases your risk.

Lasik isn't used for cataracts...

That's just cataract surgery. You can use lasers for that, but it's not the same goal.

My point is, its still laser surgery, and increases the risk of detached retinas

I had a cTen operation, one of the best things I've done. After ten years I still have perfect vision and no complications. I did specifically stay away from LASIK though. I have a friend who had it done and he has no complaints but I don't like how the operation is done.

As they cut open the outer layer of your eye and pull the flap aside to do the laser operation. You basically get a scar on your eyeball. Not really a big issue but ya know.

Hope you enjoy! I got LASIK in 2011, and it was the best self investment. Vision is still going strong for me.

They probably already told you, but be aware that you might have halo'ing at night for a while. I had halo'ing for nearly 6 months, which was way longer than usual (though was listed as a possibility), but it eventually went away.

Procedure itself is uncomfortable, but not painful. It's a very odd sensation to be able to tell that your eyes are getting poked at, without actually feeling it. Then the weirdest part is when they make the incision, and your vision turns totally white except for the little red dot they have you focus on.

But all worth it. I hated contacts/glasses so much.
