Do it! Best thing I ever did!
After decades of wearing contact lenses to correct short sightedness, age caught up and I became presbyopic. I saw a TV news story about a then new procedure called blended laser vision. This procedure gives you a different prescription in both eyes - your dominant eye is tuned for distance and the non-dominant eye is tuned for reading distances. The brain then learns to fuse the pictures and very soon you don't notice any thing untoward. Both the CAA and USAF recognise the procedure and, subject to individual recovery, have cleared pilots back into the air! My procedure was carried out at the London Vision Clinic. OK, at £5200 three years ago, not the cheapest, but they devised the procedure and are utterly professional with both pre and post op care.
