What I don't do (and I tried) is use contacts when flying. Contacts
move around. Weighted lenses are self-correcting, not fixed. Which
means that they will move, often exactly when you need perfect vision,
and slowly get back into proper place and orientation over next 30
seconds or more.

The reason I'm ok with this is that even when my vision isn't perfect,
it's definitely good enough to function, it's more of as hassle than
anything else. But the headaches from the uncorrected astigmatism?
No thanks. Funny thing is, I've talked to people who have NO issues
with weighted lenses - wish I was one of them.

That's not enough for
me, especially after reviewing this:http://www.visionsurgeryrehab.org/
I wouldn't be able to fly with some of the problems described there, I
can fly with glasses.

Yikes.

Strikes PRK from the list of options.

Third opinion scheduled in a few weeks. Hopefully I can get this
solved and hang onto my medical. Really appreciate everyone's
thoughts on this.
