Hey Newt, i've pondered that too. I've been "lucky" enough though to be 4-eyed since about 7 years old, and my eyes are getting better with age (apparently near-sighted peoples' eyes slowly move toward 20/20 over their lifetime). My only concern is that I get it done, and in 10-15 years need glasses again as my eyes age. I'd like to hear from someone who's had it done 10 or so years ago and if they're now having vision problems that would require going back to glasses (if so, what's the point?)
