My vision has gotten worst this year, I can't even go surfing without seeing the horizon of the ocean.
And prescription goggles are terrible for my sinuses.
My doctor recommended Lasix Eye Surgery. Insurance might help cover it since it hinders performance in my work.
But damn, it's scary looking. You ARE getting your eyeballs cut open.
What do you guys think? And have any of you NG members ever gotten Lasix Eye Surgery?
I hear both good things and bad things from it. Like it hurts terribly for the first few months, or it only last for 10 years.

Leary of it myself. They been doing it in the EU countries for a while. It's worth putting up a post in General about it, though everyones eyes are different.
They don't cut 'n sew back, do they? It's just lasers deforming the back of the eye so the focus is more precise.
One thing to look into: corrective contact lenses. Wear them for a few months and they do roughly the same thing as Lasix, though the lenses are rather pricey. They reshape the eye while wearing them during the day. Heard this from a work-mate 6 years ago, so maybe the price has dropped.

Yeah but I swim, and contact lenses wash out.
And if I was to wear goggles, they could crack or I could lose them.
