Hear hear
I spent a great amount of money on an operation to have my eyes lasered precisely so I don't have to wear glasses. People who wear frames because they think they're trendy should be forced to have the reverse operation, leaving them myopic for life.

I was going to have that done as it's currently half-price
but when I read around it a bit I found that it doesn't seem to last very long and carries scary side effects. Didn't seem worth the risk.

I thought that the arguments against were that they have no idea what will happen long term
I know a bunch of people who have had it done. Some of them some time ago, and absolutely rave about it.

8+ years on and still better than 20/20 vision
I may have to wear reading glasses when I get older but then so does pretty much everyone in the world. Stop being such a pussy and get yourself under a laser.

^This
The process is fucking uncomfortable, but the results are so worth it you'll wonder why it took you so long.

^ Exactly that
Yes, it's fucking uncomfortable, and the smell of your own eyes burning stays with you for a long time. Thankfully, so does crystal-clear vision.

Isn't it very expensive?

Yes it was
Though if you have to spend money on glasses or contact lenses it evens out over time - the missus is currently considering it and she'll have made her money back in seven-and-a-bit years of not wearing contacts. (She's an accountant and she enjoys working this sort of stuff out)

I'm not sure I'd want it.
A mate's boyfriend had it done, then left him hahahahaha

I'm worried I'll recover, look in the mirror, and end up remortgaging to pay for plastic surgery.

Well if you got it done and didn't like the effect
You could always wear a pair of "Fashion" glasses with either no lenses, or simple glass/plastic.

Does this mean
