LASIK
I've been following up on LASIK technology since there was no such thing as LASIK technology - back then the latest in vision enhancement technology was PRK. I think I was sixteen or seventeen years old back then, and I stumbled across a magazine article about a laser that can reshape your cornea so your vision is restored so that you wouldn't have to wear glasses or contacts again. I was excited, until I found out that you have to wait until your vision was stabilized (aka until you're around 23) to undergo the surgery. And so for the past six years I've been patiently waiting, researching on breakthroughs in the technology and talking to people who've been under the laser. Now that I'm 23, and my vision has for the most part stabilized, I'm offered an array of LASIK choices that was not available two years ago. I'm seriously considering finally going in for a consultation. Should I go with this procedure I will probably have to relinquish my D&G and Hiero glasses, but randomly accessorizing the face with $5 frames does not seem like a bad compromise at all. No, sir.
