Laser Eye Surgery
So this summer I want to get laser eye surgery. I am sure you have all heard about the relatively new technology that is nearly painless and can correct your vision and make it nearly perfect. This surgery is ideal for people like me who have been wearing contacts for years, but unfortunately there are some complications that come along with the surgery. These complications are so risky that I am almost considering not getting the surgery. The complications include seeing with double vision or seeing things with a halo of light around their head. If these complications do occur, they unfortunately can not be fixed, not even with more surgery or with contacts. So here is my dilemma, I have been wearing contacts for 12 years and although it is a small pain to take them in and out everyday, for the most part I do not even notice them. So is it worth risking walking around with double vision for the rest of my life because I was greedy and had to have the surgery? Sometimes I feel like the complications outweigh the positives. Here is my plan... since technology is always improving, I think I am going to wait until the possibility of complications goes down because I am only 19 and the thought of walking around with double vision for the next 50 or 60 years just doesn't sound appealing! ahh
