The solution is sort of obvious (unfortunately): go into a career where I'm expected to regularly wear a suit. ;) the chinpose can’t offset the authority lost by the lack of eyewear, sadly.

And, how will you ever do that thing where you take your glasses and polish them, without making eye-contact with the jury, while quietly delivering a devastating rebuttal to the opponent's claims?

You take a risk, and on the other side, you come out with a horror story (low probability) or you can see much better than you used to (high probability). I was reading 20/20 in both eyes in less than 18 hours after the surgery, and my right eye has stabilized to the point where it is probably now better than 20/20- left eye probably not *quite* 20/20 as it has stablized, but close enough that I can read all day with no noticeable eyestrain and have no need for glasses. This seems to be the most common outcome, especially if you work with a reputable provider. (I had mine done at the top-ranked eye hospital in the country, which happens to be in my hometown.) I found out afterwards that one of my classmates did it last summer and couldn't see for 26 days, and they never did figure out why he couldn't see or how he miraculously recovered on the 27th day. So... that's a low probability outcome, but it is a real one. YMMV. Yoav: pretty simple, really.

If you have strong impressions pro or con (and you seem to be pro), can you please send me a note with your thoughts? (Or blog about it, or use whatever format you wish, you know how to reach me..)
