If you are a software developer, as many of us, you really don't want that. Nor do you want dry eyes, specially when staring at a screen under air conditioning.

If someone really wants to do the operation anyway, then get a LASEK. This won't create the never-healing flap, with all its complications. Recovery time suffers a bit, but that's a minor issue, considering the long-term benefits. Less dry eye.

Halos might still be present though.
