Is Lasik Worth It? – Seeing Better – vs – Looking in the Right Places

 

Is Lasik Worth It?

A few months ago, I was with a group of Entrepreneurs at my friend Matthew’s shop.  He was demonstrating some of the Google technology his team has implemented since our August event.

I noticed he was having a hard time seeing the monitor from across the room.

I don’t think anyone noticed, mostly because it didn’t bother him a bit.

A few times he asked us to read small print to him.   Once he stepped closer to the screen and squinted.  It really didn’t cause him any pain.

I was wondering “Why hasn’t this guy gotten Lasik?”

I remember when I got Lasik.

It wasn’t like getting glasses.  You could try on a pair of glasses and see if they helped.

It wasn’t like trying a pair of contacts.  Way more scary, but you could still take them out.

Nope…

It was a scary fucking thing that you couldn’t undo, but luckily I had a bad enough experience with contacts that I knew I had to take action.

I don’t shop for things… I buy things.

I had an assessment at 4:30 that afternoon and by 4:30 the next day I had 20/20 vision.

It’s a damned good thing I rushed into it, too.

If I had seen what they were going to do to my eye (think tiny can opener), I would have put it off forever.

I had no idea what it was like to have clear vision with no effort.

I can’t point to a single time when it’s resulted in tangible financial gain for me, but I can’t begin to list all the times it’s come in handy.

I know it won’t last forever, but it sure has been fun.

I can’t believe I got it that cheap.

I can’t believe I don’t have to keep paying for it as long as I get to experience life like this.

The crazy thing is, I would literally have never done had I watched a single YouTube video about it.

It looked scary as hell, but it didn’t hurt a bit in real life.
