A few weeks ago I had my eyes fixed with LASIK eye surgery. So far I’ve been completely happy with the results – it works! In preparing for the surgery, you receive lots of printed materials to read, including a booklet titled “Patient Information”. Inside that booklet is an explanation of the surgery which contains one of the best sentences I’ve read in quite a while:
The corneal tissue has natural bonding qualities that allow effective healing without the use of stitches.
Well, gee, that’s good to know! I’d hate to have stitches in my eyeball!
