Laser Eye Surgery

We’ve come a long way since the “good old days”,
With advancements in science in various ways.
There’s one in plain sight for you and for me,
I’m talking about laser eye surgery.
The most common method is the one they call LASIK,
But the way it’s performed makes it seem like it’s basic.
I’ll tell you right now of some great benefits,
I would tell you them all, but the time won’t permit.
So please quiet down and listen to me,
I’ll list out the pros and the cons three by three.
You’ll no longer need a prescription for eyes,
You’ll only wear glasses when you need a disguise.
It takes almost no time for you to recover
Which leaves ample time to help out your mother!
The third one I speak of would be great for the masses,
For there’d be a lot less lost/broken glasses!
“So what are the cons” you might ask of me,
Well let’s take a look and maybe we’ll see.
You might feel discomfort for a couple of days,
Or a tad sight distortion by a bit of a haze.
Should you choose to accept this and make your decision,
Your eyes can get dry, thus affecting your vision!
And last but not least I will talk of expense,
It costs lots of money, with no recompense.
After weighing the pros and the cons you have seen,
Will you be quite averse, or shell out the green?
I wonder what all of your choices will be,
As to whether you choose laser eye surgery.

Nice poem...and nothing odd in writing about eye surgery...anything goes...inspiration can spring from anything or anywhere..from dust to dustmites, rags to riches etc.
I think its a great piece.

Personally I have not thought of having one, maybe I
should. But friends who had it seem quite happy with
their LASIK...bouquet

Hi, hershorn,
Unfortunately, I've been told that near-sighted individuals who elect to have the surgery will require reading glasses when their eyes age. In the end, it does all come down to weighing the pros and the cons you have seen. Hope your friend appreciates your Laser... verse. Thanks for sharing it with us.
