Steve, for what it's worth, I had LASIK done, -9.5 and severe astigmatism in both eyes, and they told me from the beginning I was an "ideal candidate." Seems that the tendency to regress after the surgery is actually greater in people with less strong prescriptions.

With the retina problems you mentioned, I don't know, but it's such an amazingly life-changing procedure, you should at least talk to a LASIK surgeon about it. If nothing else, they could maybe get you down to a more livable prescription.
