The mention of approval brings to the fore my worry about laser eye
surgery and similar techniques; are we, the paying public, not still
the guinea-pigs for their development? Have the processes been around
long enough to be sure of the LT stability, etc? I can see that for
someone needing high levels of correction or who hates poking their
fingers in their eyes twice a day the, what must admittedly be small,
risks are outweighed by the benefits, but is it really worth it for the
mildly irritated by glasses masses? What highlighted the pitfalls for
me was a friend who had the procedure done about ten years ago and who
ended up with a star-burst effect around bright lights at night. Like
using the filter, it was pretty the first couple of times but quickly
became irritating, and did nothing for her enjoyment of night driving.
