But since he still wears reading glasses, what's the point?
PTI co-host Michael Wilbon had laser eye surgery a few days ago. Now that health insurance will pay for part of lasik surgery, I've been tempted to do it. Then again, there are no long-term studies on this procedure, and many doctors will tell you it's a risky venture.
Anyway, I'm happy for Wilbon, who says he can see things he "had never seen before." But I can't help but think he looks a little naked without his glasses.

I also think he looks fatter without his glasses.
while it is true that nowadays with many ophthalmologists who have
great experience with the surgery -it IS by and large safe and effective (it's basically planned and controled by a computer)....there ARE uncommon aftereffects which adversely affect vision.
because vision is sooooo central to our everyday life i am VERY risk averse when it comes to vision. i don't think corrective lenses constitute such a great burden to overcome the admitedly small (but potentially devastating) risks of laser eye surgery.
I guess it partly depends on how much wearing glasses and contacts bother you. Or is it bothers, since one can (or does) only wear one at a time. I think either might be correct.
I'm Bart Simpson.
At work I wear both contacts and glasses at the same time, so it would be "bother."
(contacts to correct my extreme near-sightedness, reading glasses to lessen the strain of looking at my computer)
There is a man that I see almost everyday on my walk to work that reminds me so much of Wilbon. I know for a fact that it is not him, and if you were to see him, I am sure that you all would completely disagree with me. But there it is.
Take a camera and document the Wilbon doppleganger for us.
I've seen Wilbon once or twice by the Post office. I don't remember which direction he was walking. He's much taller in person than he looks on TV. The glasses made him look really short.
