Ha! I wish.
In all honesty it wasn't that bad really. The whole procedure set me back $5200 and it took all of 20 minutes...I tell you what, I am in the wrong business. On the day I attended the surgery there were at least another 25 people waiting for the same.
Maybe I should head to Uni and do ophthalmology!

The only way to really find out is to get the initial consultation done as there are many factors involved. For example, I was mild myopic (short sighted) which is easy to correct, but... I only just had a thick enough cornea to have the procedure done.
So you may have the most slight dioptre differential but if your cornea isn't thick enough to cut and laser away you can't have it done.

Go for it. The worst they can say is no
