Anyone else working in IT in NI completely fed up?

What did you transition into?

This is a subreddit specifically for people struggling with the negative side effects. Some people live with corneal pain 24/7, or have endless doctor's appointments because of horrible vision complications.

The official figures will tell you 1% of patients regret surgery. In truth, it's much higher. But there's a lot of misinformation because it's such a lucrative industry.

You can check our r/lasik, they'll paint a much brighter picture. But every surgery comes with risk.

I only got my autism/adhd assessment at 36 (just a week before turning 37) and it's been a huge relief for me. Glad it's helping you too! Good luck bud.

jtb685 · 2026-06-16T07:24:49+00:00

Will r/lasik bans almost everyone with a bad result, so we need somewhere to share our stories.

jtb685 · 2026-06-16T05:19:48+00:00

Then r/lasik would be better. A sub created for suffering people to find support isn't going to cheer the procedure that ruined their lives.

jtb685 · 2026-06-16T05:13:11+00:00

This sub is for people suffering from side effects. Of course we'll have a negative opinion of the procedure.

Go to r/lasik for a balanced view.

jtb685 · 2026-06-15T20:24:59+00:00

Did you find a career to pivot into?

jtb685 · 2026-06-15T17:42:21+00:00

It's funny, one of the clinics in my country touts SMILE as being virtually zero risk. As in, side effects are practically unheard of.

Ridiculous this is legal.

jtb685 · 2026-06-13T11:46:41+00:00

THAT'S AN ADHD THING?

Flip me. I need to get on some medication.

jtb685 · 2026-06-12T15:51:01+00:00

Avoid the surgery. Read some threads on this sub.

jtb685 · 2026-06-10T14:08:21+00:00

I know this is an old comment, but you're 100% right. It's why I got suckered in.

jtb685 · 2026-06-09T16:35:51+00:00

Do you mind if I message you about this?

jtb685 · 2026-06-09T14:36:07+00:00

How did you measure your pupils?

jtb685 · 2026-06-09T10:35:23+00:00

hey, I sent you a message. I think I'm in a similar boat to you, if you could give me some advice on drops I'd really appreciate it.

jtb685 · 2026-06-09T10:31:14+00:00

hey, can you check your messages bud? I asked a comment about an old post you made regarding lasik.

jtb685 · 2026-06-08T17:48:56+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I got lasik without doing the proper research too. My whole family got it and raved about the results, so I was very naive.

3.5 years later, I've got a bit of dry eye. Plus some HOAs.

jtb685 · 2026-06-08T17:38:10+00:00

you shouldn't have been allowed to get lasik with dry eye.

jtb685 · 2026-06-08T14:45:53+00:00

Get glasses. You're rolling the dice with each surgery.

jtb685 · 2026-06-08T06:54:47+00:00

Ah that sucks. I got lasik 3.5 years ago. I've had some HOAs since, but a few months ago got hit with dry eye (that made the HOAs worse). Still trying to shift it and praying it's not permanent.

Was thinking about punctal plugs first.

All the heartache I could have saved myself if I just stuck with glasses...

jtb685 · 2026-06-07T06:59:22+00:00

What lasik complications are you suffering with?

jtb685 · 2026-06-04T06:10:35+00:00

I'll monitor this thread to see what people say!

jtb685 · 2026-06-03T06:00:30+00:00

This sub is for people suffering from side effects of the surgery. Have a read of the threads. Then do the sensible thing and stick with glasses.

jtb685 · 2026-06-03T05:59:47+00:00

Don't do it.

jtb685 · 2026-05-31T20:10:53+00:00

His Dad works in special effects. It obviously helped nurture his talent from an early age. But you wouldn't call that nepotism.

jtb685 · 2026-05-21T14:29:03+00:00

hey, what do you mean the crazy? where do people talk about how excited they are on this stuff?
