Has anyone here ever tried LASIK or PRK? How was the result? I doubt I'll get any answers, but I just thought I'd ask anyway.
An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Yes, got LASIK, and was the best money I ever spent on myself. My eyes were around -5.5, one with a bad astigmatism. I have perfect 20/20 vision now. Minimal recovery, no night halos.Has anyone here ever tried LASIK or PRK? How was the result? I doubt I'll get any answers, but I just thought I'd ask anyway.

@Imaginos if you want any more info, on the procedure, which doctor I used, etc, pm or dm me. I will put out there, it costs about $3500, and insurance doesn't cover any of that.
I have also heard recovery from PRK can be painful. Not trying to scare you from the procedure, but I asked about it compared to lasik. The advantage is that since your cornea isn't cut, it is slightly stronger, and able to withstand impacts. Not a huge issue for 99% of people, but athletes, fighters, and pilots all only get PRK.
I'm very sorry to hear about your dad's condition. I wish you and your family the best in these tough times.
My eyes are fixed on death
I told myself if I ever went blind, there's a 95% chance I'd try to ctb once I figure out how to blind![]()
My eyes are fucked too. I think it's -5 in one eye, and -8 in the other. I'm considered legally blind and last time I went to the doctor, they told me I'm at a high risk for permanent blindness after 50.

Lasik surgery can also cause a retinal tear and consequently the bothersome eye floaters. But if you are young, is rare.
Had 'Lasik' on both eyes for short sightedness 15 years ago. Worked very well .
