A viewer asks: “Glasses and contact lenses are a nuisance to me. I am athletic and they get in the way. I have rejected LASIK eye surgery until now due to the risks. However, recently, I have been thinking more about it. It would be liberating not to have to depend on glasses or contacts anymore. I think it would make me more resilient physically, especially considering the tough times ahead, as well as protect me from the risk of not having my glasses on hand (they can break, too) or running out of contact lenses. I also get uncomfortable with glasses and contacts, and sometimes get headaches. They sure do get in the way of fun as well. And I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, and again, vision correction causes extra strain. I know several people that have done the surgery and they report no problems years after. But there are also lots of warnings about risks, such as blurry vision and regression after some time. Overall, I know the divine realm is not in favor of surgery. Considering that we need to be in top form with minimal obstacles to effectiveness for the mission, and considering that I am also supported by the protocols to mitigate risks, would it be best for me to do this procedure? Or are there serious risks that could become a net negative and is it best to continue relying on glasses/contact lenses?” What can we tell him?

Your question puts us in a position of wanting us to be leading with respect to prescribing a medical solution to what is, at most, an annoyance and inconvenience. We would not recommend that people turn to invasive procedures as a general rule of thumb because, as you say, things can go wrong and can snowball not only because of human knowledge and its limitations but the possibility of human error, not to mention deliberate manipulations to corrupt things. The Law of Karma as well can move independently in response to such an insult and be a source of complications and side effects, seemingly, when it is simply prior karmic trauma piling on. Such added complexity will not be amenable to a practical working solution through the healthcare system and its providers who are ignorant of the workings of karma and divine healing. So it is not always possible to predict what will be successful and what might not be, at least to the desired degree expected. Some things are better left as is rather than tempt fate in seeking perfection.
