this made me so hard.

i hope something happens to the idiot that went onto the pitch and also to Dida, how embarrassed must he be when he watches that today

i know its not exactly the same, but i remember Rivaldo (i think) getting the ball kicked at him and going down like he was shot, was he banned or anything for that.  not sure about this so correct me if i am wrong.

Whatever floats your boat!

I'm sure it is a pretty safe procedure - it's the long term effects which one has to consider - how long has it been going 20 years? - It is only of lare 10 years or so that the masses are getting it done - and in a lot of cases it is consmetic - I'm sure you can use the net so I don't have to tell you that there are a lot of negative articles out there.  As for peoples opinions first hand, is that people who just have had the operation, i dont for one second question the amazing immeiate effects but before someone messed with my eyes I would do a bit more research, seems people won't believe a wet paint sign unless they touch it but are happy to let others decide the fate of their health without question.

I am not very certain at all but i certainally wouldn't be getting this procedure carried out without all the facts at hand - what research have you carried out - what professionals in the eye care industry have you spoken to - what medical journals have you studied or consulted - in the end it is youy health at risk here, if in 20 years time you are left blind or close to blind - or did Johnny tell you - its great i can see everything now, get it done.  ::)

Shaving won't cost me two and a half grand and potentially serious sight problems in later life - btw I really couldn't give a monkeys whether you have the treatment or not - it great that you have totally researched the process and know the full scope of patient care and adverse effects down the line and are merely shopping for a price - good luck to you - hopefully the internet will be in braile down the line and you can still make a contribution.

OMG you never hear of glasses?

As for the opticians I know they give me the whole medical jargon - I could ask again for a refresh but basically 90%+ of the time the procedure was only possible once and because of the procedure when the eye starts to fail again it will be at a greater speed pace than had the procedure not taken place.

Always amazes me how most opticians wear glasses, and I doubt it's to promote their product.  I know a couple personally who have grieve misgivings about this procedure down the line.  Lets be honest it's purely a cosmetic exercise based on vanity with relatively short term gain and potentially longer term harm.
