probably one just down the street near you.

But you should make sure to check pre-conceptions at the door. This is physically altering the eyeball. You will be challenged to adapt.

I had this over five years ago and still have optical artifacts that create streaks across my vision or prevent me from focusing on fine details that include parallel lines like IDE jumper cable pins.

If you are a jeweler or someone that uses fine visual detail don’t do it.

It took me about two months before I could read again.

That said, the liberation from glasses outweighs these troubles. I have 20/20 vision (which doesn’t say much compared to the corrected vision I had before with glasses). I had severe myopia. Normal focus happened at about three inches in front of my face. I understand that people with lesser vision problems do better with corrective surgery.

I would probably do it again but dealing with how stupid I was to try this was almost more difficult than the surgery. Technology will get better but not soon. I do not think the flaws in my vision can be corrected without making the problem worse.

It will be fun to watch this evolve as the pressure from public decent onto ‘leet factor hits.

In the mean time, enjoy access to the inner sanctum of geekdom.
