So I am all set for double eye intralace LASIK surgery.
My eyes are huge, its the first thing people always tell me, I am -5 in both eyes, they tell me I am a perfect candidate.
Today I got the packet of all the bad things that could go wrong. And now I am shitting myself and wanting to back out of it.
* The packet talked about problems with night vision - I work nights, and generally love the night time.
* It also mentioned weakness of the eyes for trauma, and contact sports - I participate in heavy contact martial arts.
* Mentions unknown long term side effects.
I am getting this done because I want to get involved in law enforcement, would have been an active duty boarder patrol right now (passed everything with upper 90s). But then DQ'd do to my vision.
At the moment though, with the economy, there are no LE jobs. I am on lists, but nothing has moved in years. So I am scared that I will be putting my vision at risk for nothing. In 3 years I age out of the pool anyways.
I dunno, has anyone out there had it? Thoughts, comments, etc.?
