    It’s not 99% perfect 1% absolutely obliterated. That 1% is people with itchy or dry eyes for a bit afterwards. But yes, I could’ve pointed that out.

    Heck, the 1% of the covid vaccine included people complaining they had to poop the next day :p

      I see your point, but when you consider that eyeglasses have a 100% guarantee to not damage your eyes directly, that one percent risk becomes a huge extra risk.

        I mean, I’ve had my glasses break and scratch my cornea… The likelihood of that happening is probably less than 1%, but it’s definitely not 0%

          That is why I specified “directly”, accidents happen, but the glasses won’t dammage your eyes just by wearing them

            This “directly” distinction you’re making is not very relevant.

            Usually “direct” would mean that without it, it wouldn’t have happened. Yes, whatever broke the glasses would’ve happened without the glasses as well, but it likely wouldn’t have resulted in a scratched cornea. So yes, the scratched cornea is a direct effect of having worn glasses.

              Eh, fair I guess, but I maintain that glasses are 100% safe when you try them out, LASIK is way more dangerous during the treatment phase even at a 99% safety rating
