I am wondering if anybody has any information about laser eye surgery.  I 
have read an article in the Feb. Issue of Diver magazine.  The article 
stated that it may be dangerous for divers to dive radial keratotomy eye 
surgery which cuts tiny slits in the eyes.  Because the eye never heals, 
a mask squeeze could cause blindness.  
	I was considering the eye surgery to correct my near sightedness, 
but now I am seriously reconsidering it.  There is another surgery on the 
market which reduces the size of the cornea, but this is still 
expermental.  
	If anybody has anymore information, please send it to me.
