[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1926815, member: 345386"] A few years ago now, I asked an optometrist friend if she'd had laser corrective surgery (she's a spectacle/lenses wearer) and her answer was that she would not. When I asked her why, her reasons were fairly basic, but sort of went along the lines of citing the potential to end up in a worse place than before, then later in life needing reading glasses anyway. Of course, like all other procedures, things will have improved since then, and many, many more cases will have been done, but my personal view is that I'll stick with the level of short-sightedness that I have. OK, the fact that I can function without corrective lenses and as an example, haven't gone to the trouble of having corrective lenses in my dive mask, perhaps my need simply isn't great enough to trigger then want. I've just done the briefest of Gogogle searches and returned this: [URL]https://www.bettervisionguide.com/diabetes-and-lasik/[/URL] [URL]https://www.londonvisionclinic.com/can-i-have-laser-eye-treatment-if-i-am-diabetic/[/URL] Good luck with whatever you decide.
