VISION THREAD (other than colour vision)

Hey Guys

been trying to see what I can do about my prescription - its around +6.00.

I cant get lasik as the prescription is too high so an alternative is a perspex insertion (intra ocular lens IOL) into the eye on top of my own lens - they dont remove my own lens.

The procedure is pricey - looking at £2400 per eye!

First and foremost, has anyone done it?

Secondly - has your class 1 been re issued/approved after a check up with the medical people?

I'm aware that you need to be within limits pre-surgery blah blah but I'd still like to know.

Thanks a lot
