SocraticGadfly: Vanity eyes droop with sagging economy

Vanity eyes droop with sagging economy

The latest sign were in a recession? A decline in Lasik eye surgery. Apparently, more people are deciding to hold on to their glasses longer.
“We’re forecasting a 17 percent drop for 2008,” said David Harmon, president of Market Scope, an eye surgery market research house.

Lasik can run from $800-$3,000 per eye.

Also on the vanity chopping block recently are things like breast implants and Botox injections.
