Edinburgh you getting the old school op where they slice the tip off then laser or the super duper new one without?

You'll be fine, mate/boss had it done a few years back and he said it was one of the best things he has ever done.

It is called Lasik. Think they take a flap off the eye and laser. The recovery time was less than the Lasek so I only needed to take the friday off of work.

Everyone I have spoken to that has had it done has had good things to say about it.

Hopefully from this weekend, i'll be able to view this forum without my pesky specs!

Must admit the flap coming off made me squirm but you don't feel a thing apparently and it’s supposed to be a hell of a lot safer than the new one.

i think most people know somebody who's had it done and has heard nothing but good things. good luck old chap, just don't do much of bashing the bishop after. it makes you blind you know....

All the best, my H.O.M. friend, it's got a 90% success rate.  Hope you don't end up with incurable double vision like the 5% of people that have the op.  I'm sticking with my contacts!!

Double vision for a jambo would mean double the torture at Tynecastle!!!  Get yourself down to E.R. and you'll get double value for money!!  Ooh to, ooh to be.....

Thanks for the optimism Jan!!!

I went to E.R for the CIS semi against Motherwell. Hearts were hopeless apart from the last 5 minutes of normal time when we got 2 goals to equalise! Crap to lose it in the last minute of ET, but the better team won. The Lithaunian players the J.T's are signing look class though. Miko (don't know his real name!!) is already a crowd favourite!!

On a Swindon front, Scott Leitch, was brilliant and is still putting in some excellent performances in the Motherwell midfield at the age of 35. Him or Hewlett??
