I did it like 5 years ago and still have perfect vision. Don’t listen to horror stories. Talk to lots of Drs. Don’t choose one because of cost. But definetely do it.
I can’t say for sure I won’t relapse into some sort of self-loathing narcissist always questioning my own capacity. But right now, I am ready to move forward. I have made amends as best as I was able to those I could. This allowed me to stop looking back and holding onto my fear. If anyone has a problem with me, my expectation is they will let me know. This goes especially for myself.
