    Its actually better the worst your sight is

    In fact, I think theres requirement

    Im only L-1.75 R-1.50 so dont think my sight is bad enough to qualify

    yeah a friend of mine was -8.0 and also had a stigmatism, so she went to the Wellington private for a few days and got everything fixed. took a few weeks to heal fully but I believe she now has 20/20 vision.

    There's no requirement at that level. I was only -1.25 and was a perfect candidate.

    I thought the risks of problems were higher and the success rate lower the worse your eyesight is:confused:
