I'm all for it. It cost me about $500 per eye, and I had the operation in January. There were no followups nessesary. I now have 20/20 vision. (I could hardle read a numberplate at 5 meters before the operation)
I also had some astigmatism, but not bad enough luckily.
Yes, there were initial problems with halos and night-vision, but that has all gone now.
I had my operation at the "Eye Institute" in Pretoria, South Africa.
(My girlfriend only told me afterwards that she prefered the glasses!)
Well, firstly, I must admit, the game is good : good enough for me to want to buy it, create a windows partition, buy windows (ech!), buy a TNT 2 Ultra etc. tec. I've been a fan of id all the way through. The only problem is that I find that that I feel that there is some value lacking in their products (single player is crap - it's only purpose is to show off the engine) Don't get me wrong: I'm an avid multuiplayer fan, and can hold my own in a contest - it's just that I want to buy something with a more lasting sense of value. (Good gameplay, plot, story etc etc.) Quake III is just a revised version of Quake I (still). It should be given as a free upgrade! (A bit of an exageration, I know... but still, my opinion.) Anyhow, my R0.02 Dom.
