I've always wondered if the various corrective eye surgeries were compatible with our trade's necessity of excellent vision at very close range. It's the main reason I've never considered having it done, even tho I've suffered the inconvenience of spectacles since I was 10 yrs old for distance. I didn't want to risk any chance of compromising the visual acuity needed for my work.
I'm guessing, like me, many of us avoided it for that reason, but since there are a lot of folks who've taken up engraving as a hobby later in life, perhaps some of them had eye surgery before deciding to try the most frustrating pastime since the invention of golf? How has it affected your vision at various distances, both immediately and over time?
PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT, REPEAT, NOT, IN THE MARKET FOR THIS PROCEDURE. I'm just curious what others' experiences have been. Lately it seems if I ask for the time of day I get detailed info on clock & watchmaking. I'm really not interested in what all I need to be mindful of when choosing a doctor/clinic, etc., etc., etc. If somebody wants to start a new thread on the particulars, pitfalls to avoid, etc., knock yourselves out. Thank you.
