somebody had it done at work, said it worked wonders for him. he had similar probs to me and found his sight was getting worse for driving, as do I. ( And no I wouldn't have seen the deer with 20/20 vision). however although he had a vast improvement of sight meaning he didn't have to wear specs as a majority, he found he couldn't read up close anymore, which he did before. As I said to him, I'd prefer that to being as blind as a bat. a small price i think. I'd certainly consider it if I had the money, although if they get any worse than they already are, i think i might have to rob a bank

£300 per eye............. i think, i guess i have spent more than that on glasses

They won't do me as my left eye is too weak. Shame. But I've just invested in a new pair of Ted Baker specs, very very different they are. Don't think they'll fit under a lid, so I'll have to carry on with the old ones. Will post a pic when I get 'em.

Apparently its all good unless you go very high or very low. A guy I used to work with wanted to go climbing K2 or Everest (some big mountain) but was advised against it as he had laser eye treatment some years back. The problem appears to be they kept loosing people off the side of the mountain, they had all had the treatment and the thinking was due to the altitude their eyes popped and they walked off the edge as they could no longer see.

Not sure how true this is, but so long as you don't want to climb a mountain you'll be fine!

I'll stick with contacts and/or glasses, I don't fancy surgery at any cost at the moment as I'm not sure of the long term effects.

If you apply for a safety critical job you will also be refused if you have had laser eye surgery,
