I’ve been pondering getting Lasik for a couple years now, while reading around, I found that Jason at 37 Signals is thinking about the same thing. I found this list in the comments on the post where he asks advice on Lasik–it made me laugh… then think. Take it for what it’s worth.

10. If God didn’t want us to vaporize our corneas, he wouldn’t have made us smart enough to make lasers.

9. It sounds pretty darn cool when you describe it to everyone you know. Say it right now, and feel how nifty it sounds rolling off the tongue: “I got … LASIK!� Sort of like, “I got … NIKES!�, but even better.

8. They’re only eyes, fer cryin’ out loud. It’s not like they’re something important, like global warming.

7. Two words: Goggles rock!

6. If your eyesight suffered from an iron deficiency … well, it won’t any more.

5. “Lifting your flap� and “showing your stroma� is a great way to pick up chicks.

4. You won’t get thirsty as often, since your eyes won’t be wasting all that moisture in tear production. (If you’re a woman, you should probably be crying less anyway. If you’re a man, you shouldn’t be crying at all. This so-called “dry eye syndrome� that so many people whine about is actually a value-added feature!)

3. Two more words: Free enhancements!

2. If you thought the buzz you got with the post-orthodontia codeine was good, wait ‘till you try Restasis!

And now (drum roll), the #1 reason to get LASIK right now:
1. Hey, you never know — it just might work!
