    At least they're reversible if anything goes pear shaped.
    Not FDA approved. You can re-do laser correction too in most cases something goes wrong. Not all, but since both involve cutting the eye I'd guess this is still the case to a degree.

    Interesting idea slthough I assume it cannot correct astigmatism which is no good in my case.

              I hope you're not mildly short-sighted, because that can be a good thing (pay back) after the age of 40, especially for desk jockeys.

                I hear halos are the biggest problem.

                  Damn adictive aren't they? The orange ones are the best.

                    Nothing in that they haven't burnt anyone's eyes ou tha I'm aware of. They just didn't come over as very professional when I had the initial consultation. Sat waiting over an hour past the appointment time while th receptionists gossiped away. The guy doing the consultation was rushed and reluctant to answer questions.

                    It was more than likely an off-day for them but for that amount of money (easily double Optimax) and the fact it's your eyes they're working on 100% confidence in the people doing the procedure is bare minimum IMO.

                      True, but nicer to have the people who did the op able to pop in and have a look if anything is untoward or youv'e any questions specific to your eyes. Purely personal opinion, obviously.

                      Forgot to say: good luck with it. It's one of the best things you can do and the sense of freedom afterwards is enourmous. I'll admit to having a small cry when I could read car numberplates without my glasses for the first time in years.
