Would You Recommend Laser Eye Surgery, Icl Or Just Normal Glasses?I really don’t like wearing my glasses and normal friend lenses really dont work well for me. Bearing in mind safety, cost and consequences, which is the better option? laser eye surgery, ICL (implantable friend lenses) or just leave it?

I am a doctor, and I have chosen glasses.
The reasons are multiple:
Eye protection, including UV protection to save the macula from macular degeneration and age-related visual loss can only occur with a lens. Also, the protection from foreign bodies (for me, blood splattering is always a worry) Also, I like caring the skin around my eyes from UV rays, which will ward off persons crow’s feet for longer when I get ancient.
Corneal reshaping carries a small but real risk of irreversible dry eyes. I can’t presume needing constant eye moisture drops, what a pain.
I also can’t wear contacts, it makes my eye dry and uncomfortable, so I am particularly sensitive to the doable outcome of dryness or irritation.
Finally, with age, the vision will change and you will need reading glasses. You cannot just take off your corneal laser treatment, so you will need the reading glasses sooner than most people.
Cost for me isn’t really an issue, I have excellent insurance and I could afford the (uncovered) surgery if need be. But, if you have excellent vision coverage for glasses, it might be cheaper to stick with the glasses.
But that is just me. There are a lot of reasons you might wish to go with laser surgery. (I would be a small less comfortable with the implantables because that involves really cold owing to the cornea, it is a larger surgery, larger risks.) If you are an avid sportsman, or if you swim a lot, or your glasses are very thick and you can’t really see without them, persons might tip your choice to the surgical option.
Tough pronouncement, best of luck.
Laser eye surgery would be the best.
Glasses……. surgery is expensive and you need to keep getting surgery if you want to maintain your perfect vision…….
