I noticed women looking right past me when I'm wearing glasses, and jizzing their pants when I am not wearing them

My cousin had his done for like $3000 several years ago. No issues. He actually has surprisingly good vision.
Yes, 99% safe. Be very scared :p
Lots of scary side effects to many medications people take as well. It all depends on the probabilities.
And benefits. Some cancer treatments include common symptoms like hair loss. What would you choose?
Glasses are barely an inconvenience; you can't compare them to cancer. A 1% drop rate on making my life significantly worse is terrible odds, especially given the monetary cost.

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.
