I finally saved enough and just got an Eotech XPS2 for my AR. Now I gotta go get my prescription filled for eye glasses. I knew before I ordered it that there might be an issue with my astigmatism, and sure enough, the reticle has a starburst-like effect around it. I feel confident though that glasses will fix it. I can't wait to go zero in!
It's not awful but it makes the red dot blurry. Not completely unusable though. There's a kind of scope that should be fine and I'll likely splash out for one of those sometime. Iron sights are also fine.
The main issue with the lasik for me is the cutting of the cornea and that I'm starting to lose my near sight a little with age anyway and don't want to make it worse. Hopefully they'll develop better techniques at some time.
I only needed 0.5 and 1.0 corrective glasses for nearsightedness but they had huge corrections for my astigmatism.

Go with PRK. They buff off the cornea with a rotary toothbrush but it regrows after a week and doesn't leave a permanent flap.
Interesting.
Oof, I was talking with my eye doctor today about lasik, that sounds horrible with the eye flap.
It doesn't worry me too much but I hear it can get moved around with impacts.
