Just a quick update: my surgery was rescheduled to January 26 and I've opted to go for distance correction (plano) in both eyes. I experiemented with mini-monovision (or blended vision) using contacts over the holidays and didn't like it at all. It messed with my (aleady poor) depth perception -- going down stairs was interesting -- and driving at night was so disorienting I almost felt unsafe.

Jason, you made the right choice.
I had Cadillac (sic) surgery four years ago.
Air Force colonel just back from the desert did it.
He asked what I wanted, near or far?
I said all I do is shoot so I think I need far.
He said I was correct.
Now I have 20/15 distant vision in both eyes and use reading glasses for close work.
Rifle/pistol scopes, peeps, open without any correction at all.
No glasses for driving too..
Good luck.
