[APML] LASIK

["Tim Hart" <Tim.Hart@haworth.com>]

This is not exactly AstoPhoto....but very relevant...

I have been cursed with bad eyesight....as I'm sure a few of you have been too.  Nearsighted mainly.  I've heard nothing but success stories with Lasik laser eye sugary.  

But none of them have been astronomers.  Have any of you personally been though the procedure?  Does it cause any astronomy issues?  I've heard of issues with driving at night?


And last but not least....adaptive optics for humans!  Maybe I should wait? (money will force a wait either way :)

And I find it odd the professor who leads the research is wearing glasses too...!!  Is he holding out till this is finished?

Anyway....any comments or feedback?

Thanks!
