Its possible that i just buy myself some nice fancy glasses instead of laser-surgery, when the time comes that i cant wear contacts anymore.

And, that will usually help you see, comfort or no. Glasses can't give you 20/20. I know of a guy [friend of my parents] who had the surgery and somehow managed to end up with 20/15. I'm legally blind without glasses [several times over] and I know people with even worse sight. I don't think something like that is plastic surgery. I know I'm just agreeing with you guys, but I still like to make my points.

> And i'm not saying this because i'm a great-looking Casanova myself. LOL, i guess i'm ok, but i'm sure there are much better looking guys than me. So what? I feel good! And maybe they DONT feel good, because they're never satisfied.

See, that's the way I try to think. So do lots of people. It seems to work for me for about thirty seconds-- then, someone will pass by and I'm comparing again. You're very lucky to have succeeded. A philosophy like that counts for more than looks!

Hmmm... you know when to quit and do... there's another thing I try unsuccessfully to do.
