...for lesser vision problems? I'm badly nearsighted, and have been wearing glasses since I was seven. My rxs are something like -8 and -9. I was able to wear contacts when I was a teenager but had to give them up around age 25 because of natural changes to the shape of my eye (or so Dr. Bennett told me). My glasses are stylish and I'm willing to pay the extreme premium to get the thinner lenses (no coke bottle glasses for this Saab sister), but it's still a significant handicap in many ways...such as the other day when I thought there was a big spider in the shower and nearly had a heart attack...or the more real fear that I'm going to fail my license renewal vision test (or kill a pedestrian) since I have no peripheral vision.
So imagine my despair when I learned that the surgery was only effective for up to -4 or -5? Is this true, or is this outdated information? Maybe by the time I can afford it, they will have perfected it for worse vision.
