Hmmmm....well, FYI, my mother has had that eye-laser-surgery done to her
eyes and she is doing fine. It has been a year and a half since she had it
done, and she has had twenty-twenty vision since. Although she did say
something about having it done in Florida, since they have the best doctors.

*looks around for the message thread and doesn't see it*

But, bringing this back to Shadowrun...I personally would not want any type
of surgery done to my eyes. I kind of like the current eyes I have, and they
have served me well through the years. OTOH, I think maybe some of those
slicer-dicer hand razors would be kind of cool...Kind of a Wolverine/X-Men
type of thing. :)

But my eyes, no. Of course, if this was 2050, I would probably be an Elf
Shaman, which would mean I would already have low-light vision, and would
need the essence :)
