Should I undergo lasik surgery?

Well, it depends on several factors. First, there is the cost. The price of lasik does vary across the nation but averages around $2,500. Even though some doctors are advertising lasik for less than $1000, do not fall for these cheap mill factories. The results are what you pay for. On the other hand, there are also many instances when you fork out a lot of money and still have a crappy result. 

Lasik after all is a surgical procedure and like all surgery, there are many risks and complications. Complications with the eye are not something trivial and in most cases are permanent. Common reported complications after lasik include dry eyes, blurred vision, floaters, sensitivity to bright lights, double vision and halos.

It is estimated from more than 15-25 percent of people who have Lasik develop one or more of these complications. Of these, 3-10 percent have long term problems with their eyes. In addition if you are into contact sports, then lasik is not for you. 

Next there are both good and bad surgeons-more of the latter. In addition, the results of lasik are not permanent. By the age of 40-45, most people develop progressively diminished ability to focus near objects with age and for this, you will need to resort back to glasses.

All consumers should understand that lasik is a cosmetic procedure. You should never be rushed into it. Moreover, lasik is not covered by any health insurance plan and even when things go wrong, there are no refunds (you can always settle this problem with a visit to a lawyer).
So in the end it depends what you want. Looking cool with “glass-free vision” and possibility of double vision and halos or “vision-with glasses” and having to buy a new expensive Giorgio Armani frame every few years to look cool.
