Is there a valid reason to "treat" nearsightedness if it isn't a problem? I never cared about mine. A few times I tried somebody's glasses and surely enough I could see much better at a distance. But it's not something I need in daily life.

There's no reason if you don't like looking at things in the distance. I happen to like doing that.

Do you drive a car or a plane?

[tdsamardzhiev]

Exactly. I cannot drive without glasses, and glasses (expensive ones, mind you) cause me pain and a tickling sensation. This isn't much of a problem for me, as I drive 20 minutes a day. If I were a professional driver though, I'd definitely go for a surgery.

Uh, what are you going to do when the zombies come? Or the Russians? Or the Nazis on the moon (Antarctica?)?
