should I get lasik?

pros:
  • no more glasses
  • no more scratched/dirty lenses
  • can buy non-dorky sunnies
  • can better see partner during sex
  • non-blurry peripheral vision
  • can use binoculars and telescopes more easily
  • can see while swimming
  • can go snorkeling or diving with better vision
cons:
  • $8000 ($4000 per eye) could well be spent on overseas travel or new car
  • will be able to tell when the shower needs cleaning
  • can better see self during sex
  • risk of botched operation
  • risk of problems after successful operation (google it)
  • some days (or weeks?) of post-op recuperation needed
