S's eye Surgery

Today S underwent the laser eye surgery to cure her myopia. S made fun of herself as a housewife who always searches for the best (read, cheapest) price on the buy. One of S’s friend happens to be a relative of an ophthalmologist who offers probably the cheapest price for the surgery around the town. S of course jumped onto the boat of the best buy in no time. The surgery takes only five mins for each eye, and myopia will never be a problem since then.

S encouraged me to follow her steps. Yet I, simply speaking, flinched from the possible pain (despite its being a very short-term one) and the imagined horror to stare with eyes wide open at the laser light cutting into my eyes. Urghh……

Call me a coward. I live quite comfortably with my pair of glasses up to now and, I believe, will feel the same in the days to come. No need to put myself through the torture. Definitely no need at all.
