I have to agree, certainly the best money I have spent.... Probably ever! In theory I get unlimited "corrective" surgery too, but there is only so much they can laser out of your eye. The only downside id when the painkillers wear off in the middle of the night, and maybe the realisation of what it is your smelling during the actual op. Still all that said if I needed it I could go back more.
I do sometimes get little a funny matrix/grid affect when looking at things at short range when the light is not very good - say when trying to make up a patch cable in my loft - that is kinda weird. Real benefit is being able to wear sunglasses in the summer, cycling glasses when I am out on my bike, not faffing about with glasses when putting on a motorcycle helmet, and not having your glasses mist up in the rain/get wet, etc and just being able to see when you get up in the morning (and not forgetting to have to take contacts your out when you go to bed after a beer toooo many). -----Original Message----- From: N Parr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 August 2009 19:29 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: The "Duh" Question of the Day 8/4/09 Best Money I've spent it a long time.
