burn or cut, burn or cut?

should i let the surgeon:
a) burn the front of my eye with a laser
B) cut a wee hole and stick a permanent lens in front of my iris.

Or for the the same price I could probably get new boobs* and a fancy holiday** or a decent second hand car, driving lessons and insurance**. The joys of myopia.


*don't want
**do want

noooooooOOOOO body!

oh no. thats a different one.

I don't think you fully investigated the suitability of my eyes for lasers v implants. and the laser healing is worse. but I'll say thats score 1 for lasers.

Damian I have spent many a night gazing into Jill's eyes so I should know!

I'd go with the burn too. It's sore, but it's not that sore (e.g. it's not as sore as a tooth abcess . It's more like getting moisturiser in your eye - so I suspect it's more comfortable than root canal) and it's more difficult to screw up burning your eye than it is to screw up cutting it.

But hey, none of us have the medical qualifications to back up these opinions... and I didn't even bother to read the links!

ok, read the links and see that your version of burning involves cutting too.. So maybe get the implants. All I know is it's a better way to spend your money than a car / guitar / holiday / reshaping of boobs / wedding reception / practically anything else ...

I talked to a guy who got the burn thing done before and he reckons it took ten seconds and the most unpleasant bits were obviously you couldn't blink, and you got the smell of burning eye!

Yuck!
