Trying to decide between traditional LASIK and SMILE surgery. It seems SMILE is newer and claims to be more advantageous but could result in a higher chance of under correction, longer recovery and lack of visual acuity after (e.g. having halos, light sensitivity). Also SMILE cannot be repeated and will need to be corrected by LASIK if gone bad. What’s been your experience with either?

Look up contoura lasik. It’s the most advanced form of lasik out right now, had it done last year with no regrets

I had LASIK done 4.5 years ago and the recovery is very fast. I think day 1 my eyes were a big foggy until maybe 11AM, day 2 until 9am, day 3 completely normal. I do sometimes have lesser vision in bright lights, but it’s still wayyyy better than what I used to have for overall sight lol. Went from about 20/90 to 20/15 and it’s expected to last 20+ years

I just got SMILE done 2 months ago! I recovered enough to go outside on a walk that night and was back to doing all normal activities the next morning! I don’t seem to have any complications and it corrected my vision to 20/15 in both eyes! It could be different for everyone, but I appreciated getting the slightly less invasive option and was way less worried about healing since there was no flap created!

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up.

Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.

Fellow road warriors: what are your eating habits on weekends at home? For me there are a lot of new restaurants near me that I want to try but by the time I get home I’m sick of eating out...

Does anyone here use Gympass? My company just partnered with them and I’m wondering what the experience is like and if anyone would recommend.

I’ve been using mostly Classpass for the past few years, but it would be nice to have both studio and gym access if it’s as easy to use as they say it is. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
