I don't know. I may revisit the subject sometime. But I did talk to my ophthalmologist about it a while back & he wasn't enthusiastic. And I trust him a lot because of the whole history he's had helping me deal with the retinal hemorrhages. (His take was basically, he doesn't object to lasik in general--although he does feel a lot of people don't educate themselves properly on the potential risks--but for people with really extreme needs, the amount of corneal alteration that needs to take place is high enough that it becomes problematic.)
As for a "livable" prescription---ehhh. I'm living with what I have now. The only real limitation is that it can be awkward to read street signs at night in an unfamiliar place, so I have to choose those expeditions carefully (see birthday, Undertoad). I don't think I'd be willing to accept the risks for anything short of complete elimination of contacts & glasses.
