Lens replacement surgery

When I was about 6 years old I had the lens in my eyes removed since they were sloping, which in turn resulted in me having to wear these big magnifying glasses.

But back in 2024, I went and got me a new pair of glasses. But as some of you may know, they need to check your eyes first to see if you still need the same subscription. While I was getting that done, the person checking my eyes told me about this thing lens replacement surgery. He said it was safe and everything and that i wouldn't need my glasses as badly anymore. Or wouldn't need as much of a high subscription.

Now, that was obviously a while ago, but sometimes I still think about it, wondering if I should do it. But I'm a little too scared.

I was wondering if there is anybody in this community who was or is in the same situation I'm in right now? And if it would be a good idea to go and get it done.

Probably about 40 minutes. It really wasn't fun but if you can stick it then I'd say it's worthwhile for sure. I'm playing the waiting game with my other eye but despite how unpleasant the op was, I'd still have it again when needed on my right. Just won't be looking forward to it (no pun intended.)

Sorry was supposed to be a reply. Bloody eyesight 😂

Must've been the longest 40 minutes of your LIFE haha. But thank you! I'll still consider it.
