I'm blind-as-a-bat nearsighted (-6.5/-7.0 ) and although I've been wearing disposable soft contacts for many years now with no problems, I'm dreading the day when I get something in my eye while biking, or do something dumb like pop a lens out when I'm rubbing my eye, or get sunscreen in my eye, that sort of thing. I'm pretty careful, I always wear sunglasses, but something's bound to happen eventually, I suppose, and it's such a hassle to deal w. contacts out in the wild. I don't see nearly as well with my regular eyeglasses - no peripheral vision, for starters, plus they're about as thick as coke bottles and I'm just too vain to be out in public with them !

So I'm starting to think about corrective laser surgery. Anyone out here have it, and can you share your experiences, positive or negative?

Thankyee kindly, - Jo.
