The more activities you do, the more risks. Those who play lots of
sports for example eventrually end up with a broken bone or a big cut.

In bright light I also see better thanks to the pinhole effect due to
constricted pupils. I agree about night, its blurrier. I wouldnt want
anyone to dance on my lap, sounds painful. Keep the dancing on the
ground floor and while we are at it, slow dancing is prefered, theres
nothing like wrapping your arms around a curvy 70-80kg lady

I think your good to go swimming 2-4 weeks after lasik or when your
surgeon gives the go ahead. I stand correct when I say a reduction in
myopia and astigmatism goes a long way! Before lasik you were nearly -5
with mild astigmastim and "off the chart" worse than 20/400 couldnt see
a thing! Now you can see down most of the chart near the bottom. Now
you understand why I am so intent on natural vision improvement and
considering orthoK?

Ask for the reasons why he is for or against an enhancement so you
know. Also get the exact prescription in each eye, both sphere and
cylindar as well as UCVA and BCVA. Get color copies of your
topographies and post them here for our education.
