LASIK ’s been around a while , and somehow it was only a subject of time before clothes designer vision , corneas custom - sew to modus vivendi and career , start to flex vulgar . Could laser eye surgery become the new graduation boob job ?

We upgrade , update , and customize nearly everything , so why not our vision too ? attain for the stars and all that jazz . And even the technical school fit the base : some more common optic surgical procedures are actually based on NASA technology :
Wavefront technology , in the beginning developed by NASA to assist the centering of the Hubble Space Telescope on remote stars , measure up to 250 spots in the pupil to provide a precise map of the cornea and iris . This offers the potential difference to correct problem not addressed by glasses , such as halos around twinkle at Nox or glare .
Fighter pilots , sniper , long - space drivers , politician , supermodels , and your average Sally or Joe Smith are get eye surgery . Why ? Some are doing it for conceitedness , to no longer have to wear shabu they may consider unsightly , or contact that may be a rough-and-tumble . Others are doing it to promote in their careers : some pilots would n’t be allowed to flee without meeting certain imagination requirements , and others just wantbetter than normal imagination .
bit by bit it ’s becoming more and more uncouth for patient to request procedure which will over - correct or qualify their corneas with goal other than simple-minded 20/20 vision in mind . Those pilots might need skilful nighttime vision and the speech givers need to avoid wearing scan Methedrine and call for monovision . That ’s keen , but what about that Yankees backstop who gets surgery to see the balls flying at him better ? While no one will wish much about other cases , there could finally be argument that his vision surgical operation is some form of unfair sweetening .
possible arguments and debates aside , it ’s not all just about boosting vocation aspirations and vanity though . Dr. Julian Stevens of Moorfields Eye Hospital , an expert on optical maser refractile surgery , gives an example of how “ customized ” visual sensation help a patient ’s quality of life :
“ One of my patients led an active lifetime and had high - quality aloofness vision . When he became paralyzed from the neck down , his world became smaller – recital and tv set . Spectacles on your nozzle become atrocious if you ca n’t shift them . ” The resolution ? Mr Stevens made him somewhat short - sighted .
I must accept that this particular example made me cringe a piddling bit . What are the ethics of downgrading someone ’s vision at his or her request even if it ’s for an improvement in lifestyle . No matter . There ’s some great electric potential for both well and evil in it , so I ’ll be bear attention to advances in this whole custom - tailored imaginativeness style , because my last blaze definitely needs some upgrading .
