Yep you got it. So for people with only minimal vision issues it might not be worth it, but for those with severe vision problems it may be worth the risk even though their vision likely will degrade slowly back to their original prescription.

The sample size of that study was only ~300 people. A study with 20,000 participants in Singapore found that 90% of patients had 20/40 or higher vision after 10 years. It found that high-myopia (-14+)(the most extreme form of near sightedness) patients had a much higher rate of regression, with 39% of those patients losing 2 points or more from their vision within 10 years of tratment (and likely choosing to wear glasses [not listed in the study] or get retreatment [27%]).
So basically, if you have extreme vision problems before LASIK you're much more likely to have to wear glasses again down the road.
Also, worth pointing out that almost everyone will need reading glasses as they age regardless of LASIK. This conversation only surrounds glasses for near sightedness.
His eyebrows look so angry, and it's absolutely adorable
Two years, and I had to wear headgear. Not sure if that's still a thing, but it was a big metal contraption that went around your whole head. The pain was unbearable and I had no social life from how weird it looked.
That sounds absolutely amazing. Adding it to my reading list.
Rereading Ender's Game. I had first read it when camping years ago and somehow misplaced it when I was 5 pages from the end of the book. I was so salty about it that I never picked up another copy to finish it until now.
I think it's good that I waited because the political B plot hits home with the state of the world today.
Edit: I finished the book tonight. I was not prepared for that kind of trauma.
The title is intriguing. What's it like?
That would contradict Rule 30.
Heterosexual men in particular tend to rely more exclusively on wives or girlfriends for emotional and social support, whereas women are more likely to have a proverbial village to turn to.
Fellas, is it gay to talk about feelings with your homies?
I've never even considered using a screen protector on a monitor. I can't really see a use case unless you have young kids who might draw on your monitor or inadvertently scratch it.
Idk man, air conditioning is pretty nice.
Yatta and the related flash animation comes to mind. There was a period in the mid 2000s where every anime con had a group of buff nearly naked guys wearing nothing but a leaf as tribute.
