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 <helen.johnsto ne@bt*.co*> To: techdiver@aquanaut.com cc: 19/04/2001 Subject: Lasik and diving 11:18 AM 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 - helen -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
