The industry's success lies in great part in its freedom to innovate, which permits companies to bring to market quickly technological advances for the benefit consumers at lower cost.
For those of you who don't know, the only way that this is a freedom is if everyone has the same opportunities. Microsoft doesn't give everyone the same opportunities. Look what they did to Java and Netscape. This was freedom?
And my favorite words "Lower Cost". Many of you think microsoft products are superior. Good for you. Believe what you want. But you will have to agree with me that Microsoft continues to increase the price of there products (regardless of what new features they put in). This is a result of a lack of competition since M$ likes to kill off those who don't comply with it's liking (IBM OS/2 ring any bells?
I think it time to put the company that stifles innovation and charges higher prices back into check with the rest of reality. my 0.02 cents.
Laser Vision involves a simple procedure that takes around 4 hours (last time I looked). It involves shaping your eyes to focus the light correctly on the back of your eye. The costs vary and the doctors here in the states haven't been doing it much over 5 years. I talked to an eye doctor about it and I found out some of the costs: 2k / eye if you go to a GOOD doctor, maybe less for a different one. He also told me that if he was going to have it done, he would persue a doctor in Canada (supposively they don't have the restrictions on research like we do here and have been using this since the late 80's). My suggestion is to go to a local eye doctor and quiz him on it. They should have brochures and such to give you if you are a canidate for the surgery. P.S. First post. Troy

Think before making statements that don't have any bearing on the subject.

And what else was I referring to? LASIK is the only way to go. See your doctor.
