#3So is there a health concern with having PFAS in contact with your eyes, or is this an environmental issue because they don't degrade? It sounds like there's something here meant to get upset about, but I don't know what it's supposed to be.

#7If I want to sell lemonade, tea or coffee by the road, I need to apply for 5 different documents of some kind or another in my city.
If I want to manufacture (or moreso, import) things with all kinds of unknown, untested chemicals, I am free to do as I wish with no supervision.

The best vision you can get is your real eyes plus contact lenses.
Vision surgery will correct the central portion of your eyes, and it won't last your lifetime.
After vision surgery, your prescription can continue to change, however it is difficult to correct the vision with contact lenses at that point because your eye has a "plateau" shape, which contacts aren't really designed for.
Also, if there is astigmatism, it's hard to correct it at low diopters of correction.
