Hi John,

Just curious: were you myopic and to what degree before lasik? I wear contact lenses during class and was thinking if I didn't, I'm so short sighted that I wouldn't be able to see what sensei was demonstrating especially the finer details.

I was thinking that your solution would only work if the vision impairment were mild at best for learning purposes unless a non visual method of teaching were included by the sensei. And that made me think, hmmm...it probably is possible to teach aikido to totally blind people but it would take a different method from the one usually used in my dojo. But that's a whole other thread I guess.
