Lasik (eye laser surgery)

Reasons to get Lasik

  1. If I get Lasik, I won’t have to wear glasses.
  2. To fix my vision.

Reasons to not get Lasik

1. Risk of going blind
2. Do not put lasers in my eyes!
3. Too expensive.

I saw this movie and I swore that I would never get eye surgery.

Not too much money, but not too little – It’s not exactly cheap, but it’s not very expensive, either.

It’s not expensive enough!
