I'm definitely interested but don't know if I can do it.
I've been having problems with my eyes lately (e.g. spontaneous retinal detachment) and need to talk to my ophthalmologist before committing. I'm sure the pressure/deceleration forces are noteworthy. Incidentally, I'm having a LASIX procedure done next Wednesday.

You will love it. I had it done 10 years ago and I still see 20/15. BTW my contact script was -7.5 in both eyes.

You will probably see halos at night, but you get used to it.

My sight is sooooo bad.
I've been putting this off for several years so some "experience" could be gleaned from using the new tech - that and time for proof of long term stability in the results. Originally, I thought my eyes were so bad that I would be a poor candidate for the procedure but then found it's how thick the cornea is that matters, not the (lack of) visual acuity.
