Re: [APML] LASIK

["Bruce Appelbaum" <brucea@bestweb.net>]

Interestingly, I was just thinking about this subject earlier today.  A few
years ago, there were discussions of laser eye surgery and how some people
had night vision problems, such as seeing halos around lights.  Since the
surgery has improved a lot in the last few years, I am also interested in
any experience that could help make a decision.
