"Once my corneas were cut open and I experienced that initial pain, I was definitely frightened, and escaped to a corner of my mind where I would not think too much about all the things they were doing to my eyes and what my life would be like if I happened to be the "less than 1%" of patients with vision-reducing complications.None of this bothers me much, save the fact that newer, better, safer technology will come around sooner or later, and my eyes may end up as out-of-date as back-to-school iPods. And I do not know if my eyes will be forward-compatible, having already been sliced. Still, for now I remain top-of-the-line, and I would gladly endure 10 times the (mostly imaginary) pain of LASIK to gain the quality of eyesight found in elite Major League Baseball pitchers."<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #health #lasik #medicine #sight #vision</p> Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:21:55 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:11417 health lasik medicine sight vision http://slate.com/id/2116858 "If the andro that helped McGwire hit 70 home runs in 1998 was an unnatural, game-altering enhancement, what about his high-powered contact lenses?"<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #baseball #doping #eyes #health #lasik #medicine #posthumanity #sports</p> Tue, 06 Jun 2006 21:36:07 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:7216 baseball doping eyes health lasik medicine posthumanity sports
