I'm considering laser eye surgery too, I've been thinking about it for as long as I can remember, there's a special where both eyes can be done for about $2500.
I've been wearing glasses since I was 5 and my prescription is -6.00 also, so I'm about ready now to experience the feeling of being able to see when I wake up. Anyway, thanks for the posts, it's helping me choose a great deal. I always flew either with contacts or glasses depending on my mood. Whilst I'm not flying at the moment, I do hope to return to it very soon and I was a bit unsure as to what the rules where here (Aus).
Thanks!
