This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

you shouldn't - go with ICL

Also an ICL recipient here! Little under a year ago! I've been LOVING not having glasses!

This surgery is SO fucking quick, like, I was in an out from start to finish in like ~20 mins, and I had zero pain afterwards.

While you were in the procedure did it look like you were looking through a kaleidoscope too? Because thats the only way I can think to describe that shit. It was trippy.

My cousin had his done for like $3000 several years ago. No issues. He actually has surprisingly good vision.

I dunno, after having family get it done, I'm not scared of it, but I'm also not going to get it done until I'm a bit older, and only if it gets covered by Medicaid or something.

Even then, I'd still need glasses what with presbyopia, but at least I could do without for normal vision and only need reading glasses.

Assuming it went well.

But, everyone I know that's had it ends up needing glasses around the 15 year mark. I wouldn't even be 70 at that point, and I have no fucking desire to go back to glasses at that age.

So I doubt I'll ever get it done.
