More on LASIK
Well most of my regular online contacts know I’ve got a consultation booked now. Support from the policespecials.com community has been high (and has been since the forums went live over two years ago), which is extremely encouraging given they’re the ones giving me some of the reason to do it in the first place. clc still thinks I’m nuts, but that’s okay because he’s thought that for ages and I think I’m nuts as well. I probably have a significantly different perspective on my own madness though.
The reaction on the User Friendly comments board is more mixed — some members who’ve had LASIK saying how great it is, while another member attempted to scare me off by telling me about risks I already knew about. The weird thing is, she was acting like those risks are a big dark secret the surgeons don’t tell you about. Since every LASIK clinic in the UK which I’ve investigated is very up front about these risks, it makes me wonder if they’re as good in other countries. Statistically, this UFie is most likely from the USA or Canada. Is it just that there are are lot of dodgy clinics over there? I’ve seen things that hinted at it before, but I never really paid much attention to how things work in other countries. It’s not like I need to go abroad to have it done after all.
Something to think about anyway… another reason to be grateful for living in the UK?
