I don't know if the surgery effects the ability to wear contacts or not.
Interesting thread.

true, but there are some complications such as astigmatism that can be completely corrected by surgery. If i have surgery done, i'd still need contacts to accomadate for my weak left eye, but the vision itself would have improved so much from correcting the astigmatism. right now, i need different prescription contacts almost every 6-12 months, because the astigmatism level keeps changing. no matter what, i can't have even near perfect vision with contacts or glasses because astigmatism impairs vision in jsuch a way that every number lense has drawbacks. the further something is away, the more it "splits apart and overlaps". so if i get surgery done, i would probably still wear one lense in my left eye, and be able to see far away without the astigmatism impairment.
