Thanks, guys. Interesting feedback! I'm nearsighted, I'd say 20/30, but they are otherwise healthy. The "halo" effect might drive me nuts. Good to know that might be minimized if using the right doctor.
Like I said, it's not a cosmetic thing for me since I'd still wear glasses most of the time. Glasses are a cosmetic improvement in my case!

It's just there are times (mainly winter activities when fogging is an annoying issue, waterskiing/wakeboarding and swimming) that it would be great not to need them.
Now, I just need to get over the squeamish factor...
