(perhaps the cheapest? - as we all know where they end up :) Let me recommend laser eye surgery. I did not have lasix but about 6 years ago I developed cataracts in both eyes and had the lenses replaced with implants. This is a more invasive treatment than the typical $1,000-per-eye laser treatment and it meant one eye at a time. But 60 days later I had 20/20 vision and have had it ever since. The differences in my life are spectacular (no pun intended). I buy $49 sunglasses at Big5 for driving and $15 sunglasses at Wal-Mart for kayaking. I have a pair of RayBan (non polarized) for soaring. My reading glasses are the $20 titanium frames that I replace every six months. When I get up in the morning I open the blinds first thing and check the weather instead of finding my glasses first thing. I can scuba dive, kayak, and ski without fear (or fog). In short, if you have an eye condition that is amenable to the laser eye correction then let me encourage you to investigate it. It truly changes your life. And not many things do that.
