Something that nobody has addressed here is what happens after you retire and you get cateracts...and most if not all of you will. Cateracts are a side effect of the job so do the best you can to protect your eyes from UV.

Anyway what I'm getting at is safe guard the prescription information regarding what was done to your corneas. Get a printout and put it in a safety deposit box or a safe. When the time comes for you to get your lenses replaced the surgon will need to know what was done to your corneas in choosing the prescription for your lenses. If you do not have the exact information the choice of lenses becomes somewhat of a crap shoot. Of course for most it won't occur until after you're retired but your vision in your golden years will be much better if the lenses implanted are accurately selected.

Thanks for all the great info here. Are there any concerns with near vision? I’m 47 and very close to needing correction to pass the near vision test. edit: I already wear corrective lenses for distance and am considering LASIK.
