I got corrective eye surgery cause glasses were an annoyance on everyday life. Can’t see from some peripherals, weight on your nose and ears, annoying when you lay down, cuddle etc. They bump about, and fall off if you’re active (such as parkour and flipping). Also forgetting or relying on them to see was always irritating, they fog up, smudge, etc. Just generally a hassle I did not want to deal with any longer. They also break, are expensive, and potentially need multiple pairs if sensitive to sunlight, have different prescriptions, or need safety glasses.
I’m sure they’re fine for most people but they suuuuuucked in my case.
I had a friend who got corrective surgery and their eyesight got wrecked afterwards. I had several friends who got surgery and had no issues.
I depend on my eyes entirely too much to ever consider risking it, and contacts squick me out too much for me to use them. So I’ll settle for the hassle of glasses over the drawbacks of the others.
These lenses in the article in particular still aren’t for sale, despite the article being ten years old now. They do have a lot of ai-hype articles about them though.

Yeah, i hate glasses. I would much rather put my semi-permanent contacts in my eyes a couple times a month.
