Hi Helen,

As long as you go for the DIR version of Lasik, there should be no problem
;-)

I asked the lasik question at the beginning of 2000 when I was looking at
having the procedure done (the archives should have plenty of posts).  The
was some debate (as always) but the bottom line seemed to be that after
your eyes have healed so the water wont cause an infection, you should be
fine to dive.  If I recall, the recommended time to lay off diving was
around a month.

Hope this helps,

Simon

Am thinking about having laser eye surgery (lasik) to sor out short
sightedness (-5.8, -5.8) and another eye problem. I do 'shallow' trimix
(max
75m stuff) at most.   I've looked on the net, but haven't found anything
relevant. I know a few of you on this list have had lasik ... any chance of
letting me know your experiences? TIA
