Lasik eye surgery and photographers

I don't see why it would be a problem, ask your eye doctor.  Mine knows I am a photographer and he keeps telling me to do it.  I currently have 20/40 vision WITH contacts.  He said I could probably get 20/30 or better after laser eye surgery, so I am obviously going to do it... someday.  It's finding the time.  I can't wear glasses, and you have to go a week without contacts in, so I would have to take a week vacation since I am virtually blind.  Maybe around Christmas...

Perhaps I am not the right person to ask   My vision is terrible but I have just worked around it all my life.  I know there are risks with eye surgery just like with anything else. 

I'm with Bob... I know of too many doctors that won't do it.  That makes me nervous.

My father had cataracts and they just replaeced the lens of his eye. They will never change over time. Why can't they do that with the rest of us?

You know, I was thinking, in 50 years I will be blind or dead anyway, might as well do the surgery and see now.
Then at least for part of my life I could see almost what everyone else does....  So it depends on the risk you want to take, I think it's worth it.  Now I just need to save my pennies.

yeah, I'll be in my late 70's in 50 years, who cares.
