HELLO RBDhunter Now that you can see without glasses you should reread my post, and get a clue. The word 'knife' is notated such that *I* know it is not used in the procedure. Its figurative. I know all about the procedure. My point is the last question asked in the original post was 'is it DIR'? That is what I answered. My response is totally correct and based on fact. Guess what. Strokes that people like you love to bitch about have a diving complication rate MUCH LOWER than your less than 2% for the procedure. You will not risk diving non DIR but you willing to subject your sight to this procedure. Listen to yourself. My purpose here is education, lets keep it that way! If your lifestyle is so active you cannot wear glasses and you want to have this done then go ahead that is your decision. It is definately not worth the risk for me, foregoing my active lifestyle. And my statement also did not speak to people whose vision can not be corrected with glasses.
