Very interesting talk about laser eye surgery at White Waltham club last night. Particularly a technique called 'blended vision' whereby you have one eye set to 6/6 distance vision, but a bit of short sight in the other to remove the need for reading glasses in middle age. The argument was that it's good for pilots because you don't have the intermediate distance issue of bifocals or the problem with seeing instruments above the windscreen. One professional pilot there who is also an AME has been given 6/9 uncorrected distance vision in one eye and 6/5 in the other, but can also read small print with her 'short' eye without correction so has an unrestricted medical in her late 50s. All sounded quite encouraging.
