But your eyes will bottleneck your GPU! That’s how it works… right?

But i look good with glasses!?

Thanks to this meme I just realized maybe I should
use the money I’m putting aside for LASIK, instead of a new PC.

I told myself I wanted LASIK for years. Then after looking into it in depth I’ve decided to just stick with glasses.

Once again, the meme is in reverse.

The surgery is not worth the risk, yes glasses are annoying, but they are not worth risking your vision for. And lasik doesn’t prevent worse vision as you get older, so you will probably still need glasses once you grow older.

I’d rather wear contacts and glasses for the rest of my life than risk lasik making my vision worse. Honestly I don’t even mind contacts anymore – takes me like 20 seconds to put them in per eye.
I do hate driving with glasses though as your peripheral vision is all fucked up.

Blurry vision is just hardware accelerated anti-aliasing offloaded from the GPU.

Don’t do the Lasik. My sis got it, has dry eyes all the time and has glasses again. My dad got it, fell into a tiny percentage of population where the vision out of one eye worsened considerably due to the laser bouncing around in multiple points in his lens instead of just the one spot it was supposed to. My uncle got it done and felt lightheaded ever since. I’ll stick with contact lens and glasses and live with being blind as a bat with them.

What if your eyes become the bottleneck

If you get a 4090 you don’t even need to see, you can just listen to the coil whine and know how smooth your gameplay feels.

Glasses good enough for me

LASIK was worth it for me despite costing 5K nine years ago. But I had really bad vision where I had to have glasses and contacts specially made, so it has paid for itself in part.
I’m actually back to glasses after eight years without them but I can now get cheap ones online.
Comparing myself and others I would say to shop around and find a really good doctor.

Go Lasik if you can. I didn’t and now I’m old and bitter about it.

My vision is so bad my optometrist said laser surgery wasn’t even an option. Like my cornea is too thin or something

Im waiting for simulator systems that can make everything actually feel real, not like VR is now. I really want to feel different worlds, places and stories

LASIK was the best investment in myself I’ve made in years. Hands down better ROI than a GPU. I’ll need reading glasses one day but I don’t need glasses for every waking moment of my day now.

I recommend lasik wholeheartedly. I got it done over a decade ago and would recommend it to anyone. Just get a good doctor.

If you can do (and afford SMILE) I’d look into that eye procedure. Looked great for my eyeballs!

Lasik is great but you only get close sight or far sight lens in the eye most usually pick far sight so they have to use readers.

Laser eye surgery isn’t guaranteed to be succesful, fwiw.
My aunt had it, and it made her eyesight *worse*.

lasik is terrible. read some stuff on it.

GPU has fewer potential complications. Can just put the old one back if this one doesn’t work, but can’t un-LASIK your eyes.
