I never had it done for two main reasons:

  1. Actual cutting of the cornea.
  2. A cripplingly negative response to anything that surgically impacts my body. Even giving blood triggers an overwhelming need to inject it right back into me.

Knowing what I do about CC and the astronomically high likelihood of global civilizational collapse before mid-century, I should really have something like that done so I can do without glasses if absolutely necessary. Assuming I live that long, that is. Which, judging from the current advanced age of my own parents, is a decent “likely”.

It's only good for 10-15 years before they have to shave more cornea off, best to wait for the last possible moment

I had my done over 20 years ago, and only needed glasses again this year (and that is only for a very slight correction, I can see fine without them, while 20 years ago I was basically blind without my glasses). I can't recommend lasik enough, especially for people with very bad eyesight.

Never knew that it wasn't permanent. The climate change argument would've worked on me. Now I'm even less inclined.

You just have to make good friends with a ripper doc in the wasteland
