No but a relative of a friend went blind in one eye. There used to be a big Facebook group where people shared their negative stories like this, I'm sure you can find similar subreddits/FB groups/whatever. Not everyone goes blind obviously, but some side effects are really, really bad and you can't fix them by simply wearing something like glasses so they're going to stay around forever if you get them. After all, the eyes are probably the most delicate part of the human body.

I'd say it's too risky, possible side effects are much worse than having to wear glasses when you're reading etc. Glasses are just fine.
