Not sure if you'll like this answer, but although you may be comfortable with a low income now what about the following future life expenses?

* Marriage/Honeymoon * Kids/College * Retirement * Mortgage/House * Taking care of parents

I see your plan being tenable in a "no-dependents" scenario, but not so much if you need to provide for others.

My personal opinion is that any job you have will have at least 20% of BS you have to do in any role you have. Its the cost of working with people and organizations. Aim to reach that 20% level an if you can find a job with less BS stick with it.

I would recommend against it.

I had it done and although technically I have better than 20/20 it took me nearly 8 months to adjust to the difference.

To me it's a different way of seeing and my mind had to come to terms that it wasn't the same (if you switch from glasses to contacts you have an idea of what I'm talking about).

The problem is that I'm not really sure it's better than with my glasses. Definitely better than with my contacts.

I find it hard to distinguish objects as quickly as before in dusk and dawn situations.

Bottom-line, as this is for cosmetic/convenience reasons stay away. You need to be prepared for changes.

BTW - Although I can pass an eye exam for 20/10 or so, I feel that I'm guessing more than I was with glasses, even though I could only do 20/15 with glasses. I can't describe any better than it's a different way of seeing.
