This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Honestly that meteorologist that sadly took her own life several years back after having really bad complications from laser eye surgery was more than enough to convince me to not get it done.

As sad as that was, the article only mentions that the family suspects it was the operation as they "don't know what else could have caused the suicide", to paraphrase it.

Not saying that Lasik couldn't cause any of these issues, just that this particular example is just a suspicion

Not the first and won't be the last.
