Unfortunately having problems with focusing things close-up, presbyopia, is a progressive age decrepitude thing and are not easily fixed permanently with laser surgery. I did laser surgery for my myopic (distance focusing) problems when I was 30 and now 17 years later I start to need reading glasses just like anybody with natural good eye-sight. You'll get there eventually too, you'll see

Everyone's eyesight eventually gets bad but the laser eye surgery option , even if it only lasts 10 years is still a damn good investment. Don't you think the price for 17 years of good eyesight was a good price to pay? And laser eye surgery, like everything has advanced more than 10 fold in 17 years.

The problem with fixing presbyopia is that it might not even last a year before changing, sometimes it even reverses. I'm well aware that laser surgery has advanced since then, I was back there a year ago and was informed that presbyopia is still a problem for them. They infact recommended just getting reading glasses instead. And camera equipment with diopters - it's a whole lot lest costly as well with no risk of side effects. I got halos around lights at nighttime as a side effect of my surgery. This might increase if I do one more.
It wasn't 17 years of good eyesight, it's a lifetime as I can focus from one meter to infinity just as well as the day I took off the eyepatch and barring disease I will continue to do so until my death. Prior to it I couldn't focus beyond thirty centimeters so hadn't I done I'd needed some seriously thick bifocals by now. Which made the surgery a risk well worth taking.
My main point is that laser surgery not such a simple solution as you somewhat patronizingly say, not always necessarily the best and also contains risks. Some few unlucky sods even get worse eye sight post the procedure.
how's giving helpful advice patronizing? Maybe read it differently or stop being so cynical.
All I'm saying is there are other options out besides wearing glasses. sure some people love wearing glasses. but some might want to at least get a consultation in to a basic procedure that a few people I know have had. They were excited about it, I'd thought I'd mention it to people out there who might have never had it cross their mind. If there was a risk they'd ruin their eyesight, I'm sure the doctor would tell them to not bother with it. That is if he was a professional and not some alleyway doctor.

You came of as patronizing when you made those comments about how you don't understand why persons with poor eyesight don't just get eye surgery and how it seems to be a common sense solution. Well trust me, not only does anyone with poor eyesight know about it (probably a lot more than you do) but we've thought about it a LOT over the years. It's not nearly as simple as you make it out to be.
Where did I say that I don't understand why blah blah blah? If I remember correctly, I asked whether people have thought about it. Stop writing what you think I said or how you construed it.
How is going in to get a consultation with a doctor that difficult. Am I asking you to operate the laser machinery yourself and do your own eye surgery? People just need to chill the f out and stop thinking everything a person says is a personal attack against them.
that goes for me too, now i need to chill the f out.
QUESTION FOR THOSE WITH THE LCDVF:
Do you have to have 100% perfect eyesight? When I shoot on one of my school's HMC150s, I find myself adjusting the diopter just slightly. I'd say my vision is maybe 95% or so perfect, and I don't wear glasses or contacts (I pass vision tests perfectly, though it's close).
Do you guys think I would have issues with the LCDVF?

Can anyone confirm if the LCDVF fits on the T2i?
