If you ever had Laser surgery to correct your eyesight, did it work?

Thanks

Do you mean that laser refractive surgery carries a risk of side
effects?

Well, I never....

What a shocker !!!!   Good thing adults can't think for themselves and
make their own informed decisions.

Missed that.

Who did it?

Where?

When?

In what way?
Ryan - 03 May 2006 20:09 GMT
She thinks I did. Apparantly I'm a 'pro lasik weasel' now.

(A small price to pay for my 20/15 vision.)

Having had a poor Lasik outcome does not justify or excuse lies,
misinformation, defamation, threats of violence, or fraud. Responding
defensively to lies, misinformation, defamation, threats of violence,
or fraud is not  "making fun of injured people" just because the
perpetrator had a poor Lasik outcome.

Methinks I stepped into the middle of something ... from which I shall
now gingerly extricate myself.

'scuse me....

And there is a lot of "something" to step into around these parts. 8^)

I represent the "weasel defense fund" and demand that you retract this
semi-libelous statement or we'll have every rodent in the hood picket
and poop all over your house.

I am not a rodent.
