well it's for people with glasses too, as long as they want better vision (i.e me)

I didn't think a Shivan would need eye-surgery, just grow a new one.

Anyway, Good luck. :)

I found that funny.
It's only misspelled if you're from North America :p  The rest of the Former Empire uses spelt, spoilt, etc.

it'll be alright Carl.  My dad had this thing done on his eye about a year ago.  He was wearing glasses, and they did this surgery, all by machines, it's like he put his head in this laser thing, and he had to look into the 'little red light' :) lol... anyway, half an hour and then 2 weeks later he had almost 20/20 vision.

The surgery nowadays is pretty good, there's not much chance of anything messing up.  Good luck with it though!

Would it be wrong to say "in the kingdom of the blind..." ? Or to ask what the hell the world looks like from behind a detached retina?

Anyway, good luck with this. Hope it goes well. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Eeeewww. Really nasty--I've always hated the idea of eye surgery.
As far as your career goes, Carl, at least you'll be staring at a 2D screen. You won't need depth perception.;)

And, of course, he has six other eyes to compensate.
