Since I doubt anyone knows I have astigmatism, which means one of my eyes sucks and I need glasses or contacts to correct it. Anyways Lasik is permanent surgery that counteracts astigmatism, restoring a person's sight, and I was all for that until somebody described the actual procedure. Basically they slice open your eye, peel away a little flap of it, zap it's innards with some lasers, and then you'll wake up the next day with perfect vision. Sounds kinda shitty right? Nope it's worse because they can't knock you completely out despite artificially keeping your eyes open the whole time, you have to be awake and conscious the whole time, even if you can't actually feel it.
Getting my wisdom teeth out sucked but I was 100% out cold the entire time, they gave me an IV and the next thing I know I have a bunch of blood soaked gauze in my mouth, I don't care how fast I can recover from the Lasik I will not do anything like that If I have to be awake for it.
