     I have actually. Isn't this the one where a laser cuts a line in 360 
segments around the pupil developed by the great Russian scientists in the 
early '90's? I considered it because a good friend of mine had that same 
laser treatment and he swears that it's fantastic. In fact, he doesn't wear 
glasses anymore and says that his eyesight is "brilliant". The thing is, I 
don't think he had the same treatment as yourself, (I'll ask him tomorrow if 
poss.), but sometimes when I glance at any of his eyes (as you do when 
talking), I sometimes see a small circular 'disc' where the pupils are. I'm 
wondering if it's all the same thing?

    But no, I don't think I want to smell my eyeballs burning right now. 
Maybe in the future when I think I won't move my eyes in any direction in 
that 60 second time limit. I have a LOT of patience, but I don't think I can 
handle that.
