Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

Zeev,

re: What people forget, however, this is an extremely invasive procedure, done only for cosmetic reasons, nothing is wrong functionally with eye glasses.

In my own anecdotal situation, I have been wearing eyeglasses for farsightedness and astigmatism since I was 3 years old (almost 50 years). First, I have been wearing eyeglasses so long that they just seem to be "part of me" by now. Second, I will opt for laser surgery only when no other option is possible. If and when the time comes for cataract surgery, I will go for it. However, as long as my eyeglasses work, I wouldn't dream of undergoing laser surgery. For me, I would never risk my vision (regardless how small the risk) for something I believe is unnecessary.
