Hi guys,

I'm 28, a healthy male, and for a long time would only need glasses
when I did computer work/reading.  Before, they had diagnosed me with
minor nearsightedness and some astigmatism correction.   Turns out,
however, that the optometrists found out ( after dialating me ) that
I'm actually a latent hyperope; my muscles were just working extra hard
to focus before.   In fact, I was starting to get headaches easily
while doing computer work, so it makes sense.  They prescribed a
half-way prescription that doesn't go all the way to what my dialated
state would be, just takes some of the strain off my eyes while making
a more gradual adjustment.  The downside is that now, though the
headaches have gone away, I can no longer see as clearly without my
glasses.  This all makes sense to me: my muscles have been trained to
work less hard, but that means blurrier vision without correction.

But sounds like when I'm 40, as my eye muscles weaken, I'm going to
need the full correction, and wear them all the time.  I'm just
wondering if eye surgery will be an option for me.  My ex actually was
the one who did the exam (we were together at the time ) and she said
that lasik was not a good idea for someone like me, but I never really
understood why not.  ( I'd feel weird asking her now what the logic
was. )  Any ideas, or maybe she was just being conservative?

Thanks!

Isaac
