I haven't gone for a consultation yet, and I'm a bit apprehensive. I hate wearing glasses or contacts, and I only use them occasionally (driving, watching movies or hockey, playing hockey, etc.) I think laser eye surgery might be a good option, but I obviously need to kow a bit more about it.

My Rx is only -1.5 in each of my eyes. Has anyone out there had laser eye surgery for a low Rx like this? If so, what was your experience? Does a low Rx reduce the effects of star bursts and such?

Also, does anyone know about the long-term effects in terms of needing reading glasses when older? Would it be pronounced with my type of Rx?

Also, is anyone in Vancouver and could you recommend a good place to look into the procedure?
Mine was actually less. -1.25

I just got tired of asking my buddys where my ball ended up when playing golf

I had the "night vision"(or whatever it's called) done as well, the first month was a little crazy with the "halo's" around all bright lights but after that it's been fantastic, just tested last year at 20-15...almost 11 years now.

Edit: (reading glasses) most people who have it done require them, I bought some +1.00 at walmart for $20.00 but I don't really need to use them unless it's a long read and I'm tired.
