Since I had been living with eyesight of 0.2 and 0.3 until my early 20s, at some point even when I couldn't see just a little, I would frown at everything and keep squinting. So in the end, I decided to get SMILE LASIK, and although I was surprised that it was more expensive than I expected, they said only a small amount of the cornea is removed, so even if my vision gets worse later, I could do LASEK one more time. I thought that was definitely a clear advantage, so I made the decision. It wasn't extremely painful, but after the surgery, besides the stinging sensation, my vision was so blurry that it was hard to get around by myself. So when getting SMILE LASIK, I really recommend bringing a guardian with you!!
