Sharing my experience as a fellow (former) extremely nearsighted person:

I had -13.5 in one eye and -13 in another. The first two I went to turned me down, but I was able to find a surgeon who had treated patients with similar prescription w/ LASIK. (I'm in NYC btw.) I still have 20/20 8 years after, so I'm quite happy with it.

I did follow post-surgery instructions completely & I used Restasis for a couple years after the surgery, which I believe was helpful.

I decided to get LASIK done because I was no longer able to wear hard lenses (wore them for over a decade, just started causing extreme discomfort one day) and I did not want to wear glasses.

20 years ago it should have been cake to get a good job at a major law firm for an Ivy League law school grad. And she chose to strip?

What is your favorite way to use mint in food...

In savory? And in sweet?

Woah! I have never met anyone with worse prescription than me in real life, and only a couple online! Congratulations...?

(Sorry, that came out bad! I don't mean any disrespect!)

And I pretty much guarantee he's had it. It's not like you can't find sea urchin sourced from Hokkaido in NYC.
