I have -6.00 vision in both eyes and it could get even worse. I am afraid of getting a retinal detachment at some point and it hindering my vision. Any myopes out there in Path?

If you aren't nearly blind before becoming a pathologist, you will be after a few years of practice. It is another health sacrifice you make besides ruining your back and cardiovascular system from sitting.
I'm -8 in both eyes without any difficulty so far. No one has ever asked about it on disabilty insurance. I imagine if you were unable to work in pathology you'd be covered by disability insurance if you had same specialty coverage. Has anyone here had LASIK surgery? I've considered it off an and on, but glasses aren't really a bother to me most of the time.I'm -10 in both eyes. Just completed 17 years of practice, with no plans to do anything else until retirement.
I would be more concerned with your foresight. Pathology has a terrible future ahead with its oversupply and resulting lack of leverage.
