Of all the nearsighted people I know, the only one who was told by his optometrist was already far beyond the point of redemption; it's got to be a big cover-up so that they can sell you an expensive new pair of glasses every couple of years  .

It really wasn't that big of a deal, he went to a real popular (~6 month waiting list) place in canada to have it done. It was still pretty new to the states but in Canada it was done for years before. A long time ago they couldn't correct certain things but it seems like with the newest type of surgery that they can pretty much correct all that stuff. I think it cost my dad $1200 or so, that is 4 pair of glasses! The fact that you don't have to mess with them anymore is priceless.
Nope, I tried the cute "hyper white" bulbs before, while I still have them in the high beams they didn't last a week in the lows. Those lights are still annoying but on a different level than the Xenons.
I know the 20 feet or so in front of my car in the oncoming lane is a little less than ideal but I almost never get flashed so it must be tolerable. I'd rather blind a few people and be able to see myself than to just know where the line is and hope for the best that nothing is in the lane or ditch ahead.
Sounds like it is time to move Larry.
