     I'm thinking about it, although it probably won't be for a couple 
more years for me either. I have been VERY nearsighted (like 20/600) 
since the 6th grade and I am *SO* ready to go without glasses.  I have 
even found neat readers that are cut in the middle and held together by 
magnets just like the ME on CSI:NY.  Another reason to look forward to 
the surgery (g).
    Have had some friends do the implants and they have all been happy. 
A couple said they take some getting used to, largely because of the 
vivid colors,etc. I think that was probably secondary to the loss of 
sights to the cataracts more than anything else.
