Does anyone know of any equipment options for folks that have light sensitiviy? I liked to try a few solutions before a trip to Raj Ampat in October.
Are you a DAN member? If so, I would contact them via phone or email and pose your question directly with their medical professionals concerning LASIK and diving, given the symptoms you describe.
