Alphamale - thanks for the message. I'm in IT as well at the moment and I know it is not for me, it was going to be a stepping stone.
Re laser surgery - I do not think that is the corrective messure for what I have. It is to do with the muscle that contols the eye when angled a certain way (excuse the descriptive medical terms!) and it causes double vision at one point on one eye, basically when I look top right I get a slight double vision. It sounds worse than it is actually. I have not had any problems at all, flying, driving or anything.
