Slashdot | Laser Vision Surgery for Developers? Basically a discussion of To LASIK Or Not To LASIK. I keep looking at the small chance of irreversibly worsened eyesight.... then I look at my super-lightweight titanium glasses... and I decide not to LASIK. Basically I've been told that some forms of reconstructive eye surgery tend to "fail" after 20 years or so; essentially vision is lost. So, I figure I'm going to wait this one out - watch the long-term effects. Meanwhile glasses and contacts are something you can live with. They're one hell of a hassle, not to mention a high cost. But that's life and it's safer than cutting your eyes with a laser.
