Scientific test here: I had only one eye LASIKed and the quality of vision is far below that of the other without LASIK with contact lens (both were approximately -6).

ANYONE who gets both eyes done at once has no baseline to compare against.

I can compare.

The great advantage to engineers/craftspersons of not getting LASIK if you are short sighted, is that you can take out your contact lenses for close/fine work.

The eye with LASIK is useful for swimming, travelling, and convenience of not using contacts (which sometimes irritate).
