Wesley paid little attention as the doctor described the procedure. He'd done his research and didn't care about the laser they'd use and the recovery period afterward. He knew what he needed to: that at the end he would have close to perfect eyesight. No more glasses to be broken, blood-spattered, or lost. No chance of his blurred vision making him miss important clues.

Yes, this was unquestionably a sensible decision. Practical, not vain. A quick surgery, and then he wouldn't need to depend on anything but himself.

It was a shame other flaws could not be so easily erased.
