Lasik surgery vs prescription sports goggles? My son is very interested in having Lasik eye surgery, mostly so he doesn't have to deal with not wearing his glasses during martial arts training. His vision is not *that* bad and I didn't realize that it was bugging him so much. He's spoken to our optometrist, who says he is a perfect candidate for the procedure. We are going in for a consultation with the surgeon this Saturday.
I have a very strong negative reaction to the idea of him doing this. I know a lot of my feelings are based on the fact that I see the procedure as relatively new (what will happen with his eyes in 20 or 30 years?) and what happens if he takes a kick to the face too soon after surgery, also, eye cutting (Ugh!).
TL;DR - I guess my question is; have any of you worn prescription sports goggles for martial arts training and were they impossibly hot and sweaty or were they fine and dandy? He is 21 years old, if that is relevant.
