Would anyone recommend laser eye surgery for astigmatisms and short sightedness?
mel asked:
I’ve been back to the optician a few times with my new spectacles, and still can’t see the small print on jars etc. They are fine when using them with my computer screen, but a bit blurry when reading. The optician said she gave me this type of lens so that my eyes wouldn’t become too lazy - the top being for the computer and the bottom for reading. The problem is I get impatient if I can’t read the small print, and now have started to reach for the pair I bought in the chemist as a size 2 works perfectly. My right eye is a little short sighted, and both eyes have astigmatisms. Should I have surgery?

I have similar vision problems. My doctor did not recommend the surgery for me. She said I get better clarity with my gas perm contacts than I’d get with surgery.
If you’re still not sure, get a second opinion.
