Don't take this as gospel, but I believe if you are short sighted, then laser surgery works a treat, but if you are long sighted, you will be able to see your golf ball drop at 250 yards, but you still won't be able to see what's under your nose, you will still need your glasses to read the newspaper. It's like when I go out with friends, none of us wear our glasses, but as soon as you get the menu, out come all the glasses.
