    if your eyes aren't suitable for laser surgery, you can have the same procedure that they use to cure cataracts, ie your lenses are sucked out and replaced with plastic ones, though I believe it's very expensive

    I was 'lucky' - I developed cataracts when I was 45, so got them done on the NHS. 15 min per eye, life changing

    Just another option to consider

    Think it was tongue in cheek.
    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    Bad astigmatism is one of the main deal breakers - and unfortunately often also means you cant safely wear contact lenses on a bike. angle of the head, and wind often cause the weighted lenses to rotate causing vision to be even worse.

    (It also makes windsurfing a nightmare :roll: )
