I’ve gotten the same advice multiple times (short sighted, ~ -5 each), but I’ve resisted for a simple (stupid?) reason: I can take a very brief break from anything and everything simply by taking my glasses off. Bonus points, reality becomes acutely Impressionistic.

You can still take breaks afterward, I promise !

Bonus point, if you're into sports, it's really a great change for ball games and skiing.

If you're on the fence about Lasik, just know that there will come a time when your doctor says "oh, sorry. you're too old to get it now."

Can I ask where it's so cheap? In Austria it's 2000/eye.

Granted, my eyes are the one place where I'm the least likely to penny pinch so I'm definitely not gonna choose a place based on cost alone.

It can be that cheap, or same order of magnitude, if you have a good complementary health insurance. I got mine done for 1500 per eye, reimbursed 600 per eye, but you can probably find cheaper

In which country?
