I was going to get Smile LASIK, but my eyes are too bad, so I can't...ㅠㅠ

Since I was 6 years old... from then until now, over 30 years old, I have been wearing glasses continuously.

I have to work at my job too.

When I wear glasses, I look like a student and seem a bit more approachable...?! I think that's how it appears.

So, I've been wearing contact lenses since university and even while working.

 

Everyone who wears glasses, like me, probably has more than one inconvenience caused by wearing glasses, right?

Contacts lenses are also very uncomfortableㅠㅠ They can hurt if worn for a long time.

On days when I have late evening plans, I have to carry my glasses case and switch to wearing glasses.

The lens price isn't cheap either...

 

They say that even after LASIK or LASEK, your vision may deteriorate over time.

 

Still, having lived uncomfortably for about 30 years, I have a strong desire to see the scenery, objects, and people's faces clearly with my own eyes, even without glasses.

After diligently researching and learning about LASIK and LASEK

I made a firm decision, scheduled an appointment at the hospital, and visited.

 

Howeverㅠㅠ after going to the hospital and having the tests, the doctor said...

 

They told me that my eyes are too bad for Smile LASIK.

My vision is worse than my lenses.

I thought only one side had astigmatism with the lens as well.

When I went to the hospital, I was told I have astigmatism in both eyesㅠㅠ

It was hopelessㅠㅠ

 

They say only LASIK with a smile is available, not LASEK or lens insertion.

LASIK is scary because it is said to cause pain...

You know, if you wear the lenses incorrectly, it feels like sand gets into your eyes and it hurts so much.

But LASIK is said to cause pain, so I was really scared.

 

And I didn't even consider lens insertion;;

 

I have seen reviews of people with very poor eyesight undergoing Smile LASIK...

Why can't I do it?ㅠㅠ...?

I really want to get Smile LASIK...

 

I need to look into other hospitals... but I don't know where else I should check.

If you can't get Smile LASIK at other hospitals as well...

Should I just live like this?ㅠㅠ?

 

My visual acuity measured at the hospital

Both sides 6.5 / 6.75

The degree of myopia exceeds 2.5.

 

Myopia is 6 diopters, astigmatism is 2 diopters, and I have high myopia and astigmatism, which exactly meet the criteria...

 

Oh~~~~~~~~~I'm really 고민이에요!!!!ㅠㅠㅠㅜㅜㅜ I went with a big decision...

I thought I was going to the hospital that day to get LASIK and come back..ㅠㅠ Sigh.
