My dataset is certainly small but higher than that 5%.  I *wish* I felt
more comfortable getting the procedure because glasses are a royal PITA
much of the time.

I recall one summer evening 5k where my glasses fogged up in the middle of
the race...I couldn't see diddlysquat.  I had to take them off to see. 
Fortunately, there was a women in dayglo orange shorts in front of me that
I was forced, forced I tell you, to closely follow as my guide.  Honest
officer, that is exactly what happened.
