I canīt tell wether you are being serious here or not, if pilots and snipers had access to lasers, then why would they shoot them into their eyes instead of using them as weapons? I donīt know how the military works in your country, but I think if the American Army had lasers, we would use them on other people, not ourselves.

Like I said, internet is a powerful tool. You can be exposed to plenty of advertising there that you wouldn't even find on TV. And if you read the news, you can also be exposed to a lot of advertising. |

It might shock you but I like the body that the nature gave me and I take care of it a lot. Sorry if I look self-centered. I believe you DIT NOT read any of my posts in this thread, sigh. Now about laser treatments for the eyes. I don't see what's wrong about it You prefer people to wear glasses while they could free themselves from it forever if they have the money? Because people would look at them as barbie doll? That's a joke right? |

To look at the individual economies as a whole, you have to dig deep to find the shit hidden down there. Similarly, I doubt any company would loudly proclaim the losses they have made, but rather revise and reword it. This is how the Madoff scam is pulled off, consumers and readers, by and by large, don't suspect or realise anything until it is too late. The reason why media influence is so effective is because not everyone has time to read, think or investigate deeper into every single advert or information stream they watch. The blame is on the pace of developed societies : we hardly have anytime to ourselves to do what we want or intend to.

As someone who wear glasses, and has done so going back more than 8 years, the only "wrong" about laser treatment are, in my eyes (pun not intended), other people.
I have not personally experienced it, but other sources suggests it does produce the usual "Why not?" argument from certain individuals, implying that someone actually choosing to wear glasses and not go through with surgery (or even wear lenses) chooses to be "outside the social norm" and "ugly".

However, skiing is the only sport I enjoy and actually do (my stamina is worthless so anything involving running is out), and I have custom goggles for that occasion, so my glasses doesn't become a hindrance. In everyday activities, I never notice them. As for lenses, well, I don't think I'd be able to handle poking around in my eyes.

I believe there is a limit though (I won't argue about it because it's offtopic), but as long as what you do does not affect other people lives or body in a possible bad way, it's hard to argue about a person's choice about that |

And yes, that's most definitely the case. That's why I don't appreciate when people stereotype others who try to look good or care about their figure as superficial people who want to look like models or barbie dolls. |

I thought fashion refers to clothing styles and apparael whereas beauty refers to the physical. When you speak about someone, you can say that they are fashionable when you think they dress very nicely, and people often refer to someone as beautiful if they are very pretty though not neccessarily meaning they dress nicely. I may be wrong, and probably because English isn't the first language I learned

Fashion can extend to haircut or shaving, I'm frequently told off (by my father) for growing a beard and mustache, some old-timers still grow their pinkie nails as a sign of long-forgotten badass, etc.
More on beauty in PMs so as to remain on topic~ |

There are other reasons someone may choose to go on with laser surgery such like as what Kafriel mentioned in his post, they may find it easier to save more money in case they lose their eyeglasses, some are also pressured to get laser surgery by their parents when they reach 21 (like me), and others just simply want to have NORMAL 20/20 vision(it's the natural normal grade of vision). It's not necessarily all about looks. There's actually a fancy trend where teens are into those thick-rimmed colorful eyeglasses and they don't look too bad for me at least but I don't have any of those. I'm already contented with my normal eyeglasses which I just use to read the notes on the whiteboard in class or when I watch a movie. I'm nearsighted

Clothing as a whole in Haute Couture Yup. As an italian you know that well
However, what Kafriel meant, I think, is "a new fashion" as "a new trend". Quote:
There are also the cases of the one with a very, very bad vision and wears big glasses. They suffer from it and it would be unfair to say to them that they should stay like that since it's really an handicap in their case. |
