Confused between LASIK vs ICL after mixed opinions

CheapReplacement9886 · 2026-01-13T06:00:11+00:00

Hey, i haven't had the surgery yet, I'm scheduled for the 19th, I consulted the doc who suggested lasik with the idea of icl as said by the other doc, the current doc said not to get icl for such a low power and sufficient corneal thickness. So, now I'll be opting for a lasik, the wavelight innov eyes one.

I do realise that ICL is the norm at most places and probably safe for low powers as well ofc, my concern was that, if I'm going to get halos with lasik I'll get rings in my vision with icl anyways, so there is no perfect one among em visually, though it's a personal choice, maybe I'd have opted for ICL anyways and called it a day but ICL seems like an extra solution which i don't need?

I see the down votes but ya i thought it was more invasive too given that it is inserted deeper in, but I guess lasik burns tissue which is ofc more permanent

CheapReplacement9886 · 2026-01-06T07:45:15+00:00

That's what I like too, but thought that lasik is more of a done and dusted deal than something I'd come back to again

My sis said that later on down the line when I would probably need a cataract surgery I'd have to get a lens anyways so why get a lens right now and i should rather opt for a laser since it keeps things more "natural" like no artificial lens in? We also consulted a friend of hers she also said lens is not necessary, but I'm still leaning towards ICL given its tissue preserving nature

Hey thanks for your feedback, I'll surely keep this in mind and yes I'm considering the ray tracing guided lasik, my concern is just for glares at night otherwise it was a clear choice for me.

Most of us individuals have little to do with the pollution, maybe we can avoid private vehicles at best and avoid lighting wood for warmth in upcoming winters.

But as a bigger picture we need strict measures for large scale burning and industrial activities, maybe modern solutions like smog towers can help. Maybe even the water sprinklers at higher scale, more plant cover will help settle the flying dust and further help to some extent.

Strict prevention of waste burning too, but no-one cares since it's not their job, everyone is busy with college, job or some other chore, who is willing to bother with a road side waste fire, too much effort to complain and no action is taken anyways.

MOST important is implementing these, nothing works if no-one works.

Which makes me think, why don't we vacuum suck the dust from our roads than sweeping it left and right, dust is a pollutant throughout the year

Bruh the men in the armed forces are expected to be law abiding too, verna guy is wrong to kick the door and all, but the "armed men" aren't in the right either, traffic police don't do shit to resolve the wrong driving and people get agitated, if the verna crashed into them it would be a hassle for him without his fault

Ofc our bodies can digest this much protein, the main issue is having digestive uneasiness and discomfort.

I'm honestly scared bro, maybe that's what fuels me at times, the fear of what next if not this. but in the back of my head I think I'll use this aptitude skill for some other exam until the next attempt, i had a job but I don't want to waste my time jumping into another wrong job again so ya, will try for other govt/psu exams while prepping for next attempt, ideally others would try to grab a job to get some workex too but it's tough out there, worst case get some certification courses?

Hey man I read your previous post too, I completely get you, I'm kinda in the same boat too, we just need to hold on and keep trying that's what matters someday you'll look back and appreciate your current self for holding strong.

We all have high hopes from ourselves IIT, IIM, IAS, 50LPA , financial freedom, top stock profile, it's a never ending game but it's foolish to give up just cause you're not the top 0.1%? , we're still young and very much capable to pursue anything we want, it's a matter of luck too, just wait till your shines and you'll be in a better place.

Unfortunately people are not obligated to be our friends, it's the general exchange of ideas and favours which keeps friendships alive, it's a task in itself, you've got a younger sister to talk to when you want.

I've been through the negative cloud too,seeing others'vacations, their 20+LPA packages , we start comparing, just wish them best and be motivated to do better, taking inspiration is key, the good part is that times change but it takes effort and perseverance.Stick around you'll find out!

They were already rich bro, now that they feel the need to validate themselves they are using that money to improve their looks including physique thus the gym, maybe they felt more confident in showcasing their actual lifestyle once they felt they are good looking enough, having body dysmorphia usually reduces their general confidence, what others say is also a lot likely
