I'm 20 years old and healthy, and I wanted to get a consultation for Lasik or PRK so that I can go SNA/SNFO in a couple of years. As far as I know my case is pretty straightforward, I've been stable on the border of -1.75/-2.00 for several years now, and I have no other eye issues.
The issue is convincing my MD Mom to allow me to have the surgery. Her problem is with the possible side-effects, says that her opthamologist friends aren't fans of it, etc. I recognize that there are some risks to the surgery, but that's how much SNA/SNFO mean to me. As far as I understand, there would be no way for me to be commissioned unless I have the surgery.
So, I was just wondering if any of the docs or people who have had Lasik have any advice as to how I can change her mind?
