When I was a kid, they said you would go blind if you did that sort of thing, now they are saying you get to live longer if you do! Gee's what will they say next? Sounds like there are a whole lot of Doctors with way to much time on their hands.

Hey Nr,
I few years ago, I needed eye surgery because of cataracts. I went from 20/200 corrected to 20/20 to over 20/400 and having a real problem. An eye wrench fixed it, I'm now 20/25 uncorrected. And thats seven years later. I see a lot better than when I was a kid being told not to do that, you will go blind. Sounds like you have some first hand expedrience in this regard. Its got to be a Limey thing.

Researched right here in Sunny Downtown Melbourne.
As if running the Grands Prix and having the Bracks Government wasn't enough to send you blind....

I REALLY do not want to change the nature of this threat, but what was the Wrench on your sight (....anyone sure cataracts are not a result of too much M.?) to get you fixed to 20/25?
I am thinking about Laser since years but my flight medic always keeps me wearing them damned glasses.
