Refractive eye surgery – considering it…

Yesterday I got a brochure in the snail mail from Memira. This company has a chain of clinics all over Scandinavia where they perform both refractive eye surgery and RLE by using methods like LASEK, LASIK & FemtoLASIK/FLIVC. They seem to be doing quite well, with 42 clinics in Scandinavia, and 230,000 treatments (unclear whether that is 230,000 eyes or 230,000 eye-pairs…) completed successfully(?).

I have been thinking about getting rid of my glasses off and on for quite a while. Every now and then I’d come across an ad or a web site about it, but so far they have not been able to convince me… until now perhaps?
After reading the brochure of Memira I checked out their site for additional info, and also emailed them some questions. And of course I used the research tool of the 21st century: Google! :wink:
I was unable to find anything negative about neither Memira nor the methods they use, so if I am satisfied by the answers on the questions I emailed them, I will sign up!

Their brochure does state that about 1 out of 5 people who knock on their doors gets turned down because they do not meet the criteria of Memira, or because Memira thinks a treatment will not have the expected result.
I hope/think I am part of the remaining 80%… :cool:

What just happened here??

Sven Kramer got disqualified on the 10,000 meters because of a small mishap… Sven ended up in the wrong lane, and this meant an automatic disqualification. The fact that he was 5 seconds faster than Lee Seung-Hoon does not matter anymore suddenly…

A dark day in the history of Dutch Olympic Skating… :-(

At least Bob de Jong managed to secure a bronze medal on this distance for the Netherlands. A small comfort for this sorrow…

Sarpsborg in Google Street View

I was just tipped that Google Street View has now also been here in Sarpsborg, Norway. They haven’t been through my street yet, but they do have a nice shot of my office.

Looks like they were in Sarpsborg in the end of July 2009: this concert was on August 1st.
The time was around 13:30, and it was 27°C outside. :cool:
