[LeRoux Strydom]

I had this done about 6 years ago. You have to do the research to be sure this is right for you, and you may live with the possible side effects. For me, the positives were obvious, no more glasses, improved lifestyle etc., etc. Negatives, well, my left eye had to be done twice, whih left me with a slight halo effect at nighttime in the one eye. Daytime vision is perfect. Fortunately it is not my dominant eye, so it is not too bad and I can live with it. All in all, I rate it a 90% success. It would have been 100% if the left eye did not play up afterwards.

Since your track events are daytime, I think the risk is very small that you will have vision problems afterwards. In fact, I sometimes think my depth of visual perception has increased since losing the glasses.

Good luck
