Question

Why do so many doctors and nurses wear glasses instead of getting laser eye surgery even when their eyes are fit for it? The doctor I consulted said it's just cosmetic and advised against surgery, but I'm curious why medical professionals seem to prefer specs over LASIK if it's safe and effective

While LASIK surgery is a safe and effective way to correct vision, many doctors and nurses choose to wear glasses due to a variety of factors, including personal preference, potential complications, and even perceived professional image. A doctor's advice against surgery may be based on individual patient factors and a conservative approach to treatment.
