What a drag it is getting old..........

[softball]

This is something I know a bit about. I have explored a ton of corrective procedures and have had experimental crap done to my eyes for presbyopia. It is not as scarey as it sounds. When you get the lens exchange done you will probably be very pleased and it is quick and painless.
However, there are a few choices you have to make. The first thing is to not jump the gun. Read some of these links below and there are some pretty informative forums. However, be aware that a lot of the shit on forums is posted by people who are unhappy about their results. Happy people don't seek out forums.
There are only a few choices of lenses and you have to make the decision. But make sure you understand the concept of accomodation before you have the surgery. You probably know all this, but if you don't I hope it helps.
BTW, the surgeon I listed at the bottom is very good. He runs a business but he also still works at one of the best hospitals in Toronto as an eye surgeon and really knows his stuff. It might be worth a short trip to see him if you are having any doubts about your surgeon or your diagnosis.
