A friend of our, had his eyes corrected with "Laser Surgery" they did one eye for "short-sightedness" and the other for "Long -sightedness". Apparently your brain adjusts to this, so he does not need glasses for "Distance" or for reading.
I had mine done a few years ago as I had developed myopia due to peering at the PC screen at work. It was done by Boots, cost £2500 and was money well spent as I can fulfill the aircrew eyesight requirements again. The only discomfort not painful was when they cut the flap in the eye for the laser and to see a red pulsing light go from a foggy glow to a red point was marvellous, the following morning when I woke up I really could see the ceiling. Now I only use specs to read books, the paper and use the PC. Distance - I can see a fly at 20 metres and I joke not!

Yes I remember that bit. They push down on the eye socket so hard that vision is lost for a few seconds - good job he did not sneeze at that point, or me for that matter
