I have had this discussion with eye doctors but they don’t really seem to understand the situation, just seem more interested in moving on to the next patient.
My main concern with lasik is making my near vision worse, what say you guys?
If your LASIK procedure goes poorly and damages your eyesight would your company’s LTD policy still cover you, since this is elective surgery?
Most guys I know who got eye surgery were pleased with the results, just make sure you are ok with consequences if you are part of the small percentage with bad results.
