Somantics aside, Lasik eye surgery was bloody fantastic. Peter Ring of the eye intitute sorted me out really quick. It was a No Sh1t life changing experience. Consultations were free, you only paid once the surgery was done.

I am seriously short sighted. You would not want me driving anywhere near you without eye correction.
With glasses my long sight is still better than 20/20.
The things is, as we get older we lose eyesight accomodation, which means very very few older people have both good short & long sight.
I happen to be one of those people whose interests involve long periods of both close up & distance work, so laser surgery would only change the nature of my eyesight problem & leave me as one of those people who is always trying to find their reading glasses.
I am not sure I would be any better off, but if you are only interested in Huntin', Fishin', shootin' and bike riding go for it.

With all the pearls of wisdom around here I figured you must both at least be avid readers of Philosophy, Politics & the Fine Arts.

I wear glasses, purchased a helmet with glasses slot in , also an internal tinted drop visor. This lets me wear normal glasses. Made sure I got a flexxy frame for glasses so they are easy to put on. Have no problems.
