Is lasik worth the money?

It depends on the activities you do!

If you love to do sports/ water activities, doing Lasik would be SOOOO worth because it’s so convenient etc!

I’ve asked an eye specialist, he said Lasik only last you till around 40years & there’s also side effects of doing lasik such as extremely dry eyes etc!!! :)

Do it when you’re 21 y/o when your degrees kinda stabilised & you will be “entitled 19years of good eyesight”

Recently a close friend of mine just went for Lasik.

I heard it is a few thousand bucks per eye.

Whether it is REALLY worth the money or not would entirely depend on how much you want it.

Note that it is not a need, but a want.

So Emotional factor such as want to look better, feel better plays a bigger role.

Of course, there are some people where they have to do it for a medicinal reasons, then, in that case, it is more of a need.

Did lasik 15 years ago and wanted to add my two cents. I agree with a lot of the posters that chose lasik for non financial reasons - imo the benefits of lasik cannot be quantified and fall very much into the convenience / confidence sphere rather than being monetary.

Personally, I experienced dr(ier) eyes after the surgery, also felt like my night vision deteriorated. But I have no scientific proof, just my personal feeling.

Would still do it though. In a heartbeat.

I did it 12 years ago, I have the best experiences of my life after throwing away all my contact lenses! This convenience that money cannot buy.

I will pay for it even Lasik is double the price. Believe me.

Some said that you must have courage to take the first step to do it because of complications after Lasik but life is short - YOLO!

But please still consult your doctor and get the best one around if you feel uncomfortable. Better to do it when your eyes sight (degree) is confirmed stabilized, otherwise you may not get the best result you want.
