Risk is a two part calculation - yes consequence is important when weighing up your options but you can't truly understand your risk until you understand the likelihood of those consequences.!

I understand risk calculations fine thank you.The part of this risk calculation which sways me, is that there is a risk free alternative which is to stick with glasses. Likelihood = 0 + inconvenience vs. Likelihood = 10 ^ -something * potentially massive consequences. I think I'll stick with inconvenience.
