Depends on your pain threshold.
My eyes (stigmatism) costs roughly $10,000 (painful to the pocket) so I can buy a lot of glasses for that price plus I’m a poor candidate for laser. It’s getting better but as it stands I’m a glasses guy for now.
Would love to have Laser though.

I have the same issue, i can buy alot of glasses for the quote I got. Some people get nasty side effects from the treatment as well , Eye floaters, nighttime halos around lights etc.

Yeah they told me I had to get the PK treatment, said I have mountain-is corneas. Doesn’t sound fun getting your eyes scraped...but short term pain for long term gain!

Same for me!!!!

I wear glasses and have tried everything other than Lasik. IMHO, there is no easy solution and in some conditions there is nothing that works. You just have to find the best for you. I have tried the fans, heated goggles, and contacts. The heated googles keep the goggles clear but not the glasses. The coloured lenses are great for definition but if your glasses are fogged, they are useless. The fans work but not in the extreme conditions. It is a pita.

Right now, I have found the CFX helmet (their goggles are junk) with the mouth/nose piece out works pretty good on most days. Days with rain, wet snow, and high humidity are always a challenge for the glasses wearer. Good luck.
