I've thought about it, but won't do it.

The gains I would get are far outweighed by the potential of loss of vision. I feel the risk's aren't worth it, glasses still suffice for me.

Blindness is extremely uncommon. What is somewhat common, unfortunately, is lifelong discomfort. That was the biggest turnoff to me. I have tons of problems with contacts, and I'd go nuts if my eyes felt like that for the rest of my life.

I'm happy with glasses, but my most recent pair sucks. First lenses - HORRIBLE chromatic aberration. Second lenses - scratched to hell within a week. 3rd set of lenses... scratched it seems. I use ONLY microfiber cloths. They get tiny little scratches in them. I think these were flawed though. The center of both lenses catch light in the most annoying way. If I look directly at a light I get a bad halo effect, most noticable on white light. I have to get lighting conditions just perfect to watch TV.

I'm considering switching back to my last pair of glasses. 2 years and I had no problems other than the frames broke at the bridge. So much for flexible titanium frames. But these new glasses have everything. Teflon coating, transitions, I went all out. And they suck hard. Worst pair of glasses I've ever owned.
