The doctor I went to see said that his clinic would do laser surgery on -5 to +8. Nearsighted is much, much easier to correct than farsighted.

I am -7, so I was completely right out as a candidate. I was offered lens replacement, but was told lens replacement would cost $7,000 and my eyes would lose their natural ability to focus. So I went to contacts.

I figure I might go for it if I ever need bifocals because my eyes have already lost their ability to focus. Also I may pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that I get cataracts since OHIP will pay for the surgery in that case.
