| ANY cosmetic surgery has risks. I guess I can't figure out in what
world people wouldn't think when they cut you open you might not have
complications. Almost everyone that has had RS had a bit of disposable
income. You don't get to that point being stupid in your life.
Maybe it just depends how vain a person is? That includes you too-if
you can see fine with glasses why screw around even with ortho k?

The point is most people understate the risks of an event or surgury.
This can led to serious consequences. Laser surgury costs around $4000,
expensive but affordable for the majority of people. The real reason is
not just price alone but the sheer risks. Even if lasik was
free(covered by insurance or donations or military) many, many people
*still* would not risk it. Its not so much about money as its about
asserting the risks on your only pair of eyes.
Vanity is one reason people get lasik. I am not vain, otherwise I would
deal with uncomfortable contact lenses whenever I go out of the house.
The vain people put up with their uncomfortable contacts as long as
possible while saving for lasik. About 60% of lasik patients are female
and more than 75% of contact wearers are female.
I consider orthoK a means of convinence. Ill both greatly reduce
dependency on glasses and improve my UCVA. I am screwing around with
orthoK because its very low risk, 1/3 the price of lasik and much more
successful than lasik.

Two outright lies here.
1- you've never came near ortho-k and never will.
2- ortho-k is in no way,shape, or form more successful than lasik.
