is it a wise move - yes if it works

I asked the doc during my medical a couple of years ago about laser eye surgery - His comment was a mate of his is one of the top UK eye surgeons - he wears glasses!
I know of three non pilots who have had it done - one is 20/20 after wearing bottle bottom specs for years and was perfect after a long weekend, another cannot drive at night as he cannot see properly when there are bright lights and the third they got it right on the second attempt (he also felt that the comercial aspect of the surgery meant that they did not tell him what could go wrong until it did)
It seems to me a bit like testing your ABS by driving at a cliff

regards
