I think I wore glasses from when I was really young, maybe since kindergarten? I had high myopia + severe astigmatism (I don't remember the exact numbers, but I think they were like -6 and -4.5), and if I didn't wear glasses, I couldn't distinguish people's faces even 1 meter in front of me So before going to college, I thought I definitely had to get LASEK, searched around, and ended up having it done at an ophthalmology clinic near Gangnam Station. I think the price was cheap too because I got some kind of student discount, and the surgical outcome was good, but I didn't manage it well and my astigmatism came back, so now I wear thin glasses when I work on the computer My current vision is 0.6/1.0 The clinic says I can get LASEK one more time, but I have no problem with daily life even without glasses, so I don't plan to do it again. I go every year for checkups, but they do the vision test so carelessly, and the clinic has gotten so big that it feels like a factory Still, everyone is kind, so I keep going
