"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me much, save the fact that newer, better, safer technology will come around sooner or later, and my eyes may end up as out-of-date as back-to-school iPods.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://www.cbc.ca/quirks/archives/04-05/apr02.html#1 "Imagine being blind for 25 years, and suddenly being able to see again - using your ears."<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #cogsci #disabilities #gadgets #science #sight</p> Thu, 07 Apr 2005 19:07:18 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:4415 cogsci disabilities gadgets science sight http://www.seeingwithsound.com/voice.htm "The ultimate goal is to provide synthetic vision with truly visual sensations by exploiting the neural plasticity of the human brain."
