Fog - I had Lasik 5-6 years ago and I'm glad I did. But when I had it done correcting for near-sightedness left you far-sighted (can't see up close) so I just had one eye done. Now I can see far away and up close without glasses.

From the commercials I've heard lately, I think they're saying they can do the Lasik and you can see close and far. But I would certainly check first if I were you. Also - my intermediate vision sucks, so for things like the computer or shopping (reading labels), I still need glasses.

I still wear glasses a lot of the time because of the intermediate vision thing. I have progressive lenses so I can focus at all distances. But even with the problems with the intermediate vision, I would have it done for the simple fact that I don't need my glasses. I can drive without them, something I would have never attempted before, I can wake up and look at the clock and tell what time it is, I can participate in water sports. The freedom you get from not needing the glasses is what is so great about it.

Hmmmm - should I tell you about the burning flesh smell or let you be surprised. LOL
