[null and void]

Lasik is good. I can recommend an excellent Dr. in Tijuana.

I had severe astigmatism. So bad I couldn't wear progressives, I had a very narrow keyhole of good correction and the rest of the world was a blurred fishbowl.

Unfortunately, it doesn't do anything for presbyopia - loss of accommodation. So even though I have 20/20 vision, I need glasses for close work. I chose distance correction because normally all my close work is handling chemicals and such, where I'd need safety glasses anyway.

People are working on fixes for presbyopia, but I don't think there is anything near ready to go yet.

I thought you were dealing in nano-tech... that is some close work!
