In this world, there is a great amount of people who need to wear glasses to perform their daily routines. At least, they think they need to wear them.

The main difference lies in the fact that no instrument actually touches the tissue that's being operated. A precisely directed ultra-thin laser beam cuts through vaporizing the soft tissue of the eye. This means no blood, ultra-fast recovery time and the greatly reduced risk of getting an infection during an operation because no alien objects actually enter the eye tissue.
