Decision made.....
After much deliberation I have decided that Lasik is not for me at this stage....
I pretty much made the decision based on the advice and experiences in this forum.
A lot of the research I conducted included "real life" experiences from people on the WWW, however whilst the vast majority of these people had tremendous success none of them were pilots.
It would seem that even the most of mildest of complications could see me flying aircraft from my pc at home - too much of a risk for me at this stage.
Thanks for your help - it was certainly a valuable exercise.
Cheers
