To each they're own. I got lasik'd because I hate having my very existence almost entirely reliant on this fragile glass and plastic thing on my face that I had to constantly clean. I also want to go hiking for more then a day, so I went ahead with it. I wish I had went for the femtosecond operation in another city though, less chance for dry-eye.

Why would glasses prevent you from hiking multiple days?

[-] snoons@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 weeks ago

If they get lost or damaged I would be stressed for the whole time. Just a me thing.

I've learnt the hard way to always bring a second pair of glasses for any trip, no matter how short.

That could work, if you have the extra money for a second pair. I used to have my old pair as backups but even still if anything happened to my new pair I would need a replacement that cost at least $400.

You can buy glasses online from china for super, super cheap. If you have a really rough prescription they might still be kinda expensive but I pay like $15 or something for mine.

Plus sweat on face slides glasses down the nose.
