text: why isn't laser eye surgery on the nhs?? why is it that you cannot get laser eye surgery in the nhs but in some case you can have a boob job!  personally i find wearing glasses could be much more distressing than having a smaller chest. yet doctors will give out a boob job but if you want your eyes lasered, it cost a bomb.!!  in the long run it works out cheaper if people where given the surgery instead of paying for new glasses and contact lenses as well each month for the rest of your life??  am i missing a good reason on why it doesnt add up? because you can get adequate treatment for eye problems by using glasses or lenses.  laser treatment is more a vanity issue.   yes, boob reductions (not implants!) are available on the hns, but that is only done for sound medical and emotional reasons...not vanity....;
