Is it back to plan A (LASIK) for you now?
We'll have to wait and see. The only thing holding me back is the astigmatism in my left eye. In August 2005 it was measured at -3.25D, but a couple of weeks ago it was down to -2.5D. It seems as though I'm back within the limits for a deviated class 1, but I gather that to get one of those your eyes need to have been fairly stable for the last three years. I've gleaned this from pprune, not the CAA. I'm waiting for a response as to whether they would consider me for a deviation, but I can only guess that they won't be happy with a 0.75D swing in 9 months. The optometrist couldn't explain the large swing, but he checked and double checked and the current prescription is definitely correct...

If that's no good, then I will consider options with LASIK.

Alexevans - would be good to hear how you get on, both with the surgery (if you definitely go for it) and the CAA...
