Working in this field, our vision is very important to all of us, so this is a double edged sword. It's likely that the surgery will improve my vision, but there's a chance it will go wrong and lead to worse vision, or blindness.
I'm just wondering what others in the same field thought about it. Too much of a risk to mess with it, or the benefits outweigh the (small) risk?

I have heard some BAD ASS stories about Lazer vision, there are 100's or 1000's of cases where people are blind or ther vision is just fucked with ghosting and other shit. I heard a rumor that they did this lazer vision on Apes 20 years ago and now they are color blind. Who knows if thats true or not but it should give you pause and do a bunch of research into it before you get it done.
Believe me if its so minor you can still drive then just get some contacts, it takes me a total of about 1.5 mins to put my contacts in including quick rub to clean them and bang your done. And it takes about 30 seconds to remove them and put them into your carry case.
Stick to contacts until your really need to do the lazer thing. Your eyes will get worse if your using computers all day long its just life.
