    10/10 best $4k I ever spent. I didn’t notice any change in colors. It did make my eyes drier, but I use a sleep mask now (I sleep with my eyes open). That, and a sensitivity to bright light were the only side effects, and they are both back to normal now 2 years later.

      It’s a success story! I’m going to start looking at surgical interventions with more love jaja, although it is a sacrifice, I think you will gain much more in quality of life, and I am glad that you have encouraged yourself to take that step. Thank you for your experience, you motivate me (L)

        10/10. Cried after waking up the morning after and I could see my popcorn ceiling without glasses. Fixed my aphantasia, went from a 4.5 to a 2.

        Only “complaint” is now my left eye is stronger than my right eye. Ive adjusted to it but the first year my brain would like… stutter as it tried to reconcile which eye was stronger.

          jaja It’s like your brain has made a fine adjustment to balance everything. In some cases, you can use glasses with slightly different lenses to balance the vision between both eyes, I think they are called “corrective glasses”, you can also do visual exercises The one I did the most is holding a pencil at arm’s length, focus on the tip while bringing it closer to your nose until you see double, and repeat 10 times, basically doing ahegao jaja
