Don't be afraid of that, it is highly recommended by me. For me, I had Lasik eye surgery done after wearing glasses for 10 years. It has been perfect for me. I have had no changes. Before I do the surgery I know, risks and benefits are existed at the same time, I belive I am the lucky person. Then everything is done. I've seen several people who said they were in some pain, but healed just fine.But for me, everything is OK, I can see things clearly no squinting, no driving/ reading with glasses anymore.The procedure is painless (although a bit uncomfortable) but takes less than 15 minutes. Try it!
