A patient sent me a note saying that his wife wanted him to be able to see through walls.  Another said their spouse wanted to be able to see their pretty eyes.  Whether these suggestions truly came from the spouses, they illustrate 2 of the major reasons for having Lasik eye surgery.  Those reasons are 1) visual function and 2) cosmetic appearance.  Another third category of reasons to have Lasik surgery falls under convenience, for example getting rid of the hassle of cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses.
