Laser Eye Sergery

One nice twist on the insurance is that you can use your HSA money on it. Definitely go for an experienced doctor if you do go through with it.
 
I had it done to me back in 2001. I do not regret it. also risks involved are huge. things that can happen are hella scary, but they (doctors) continually reassured me it's like one in every 4000 eyes hahaha yeah.... strangest one you can get is herpes of the eyes.

the first night though is killer. and you have to wear shades for a while. but yeah.. that first night.. wooooo... the most painful night of my life. feels like my eyes were being pulled from their sockets. and it was hard to fall asleep. not to mention i had to drive to savannah from virginia 2 days after. not my brightest choice. but yeah... clearly. i survived.
 
i had it done a few years ago. no complications. i agree with the earlier statements about getting what you pay for. a good doctor will thoroughly test your eyes beforehand and tell you which types of surgeries are safe for your eyes specifically.
 
I know someone who had laser eye surgery and still needs contacts. Losing dependancy on corrective eyewear is not assured with any procedure. Additionally, it's very common to need laser eye surgery again in the future; as the operations of the recent past infrequently proved longlasting. Things have changed a bit today, but given today is today; only time can tell the long-term outcome - altho I do hope for the best. Contacts aren't that much of a burden; I would personally stick with contacts and a pair of glasses (for when you're lazy at home or want a new look) for another 2-3 years. I have reason to believe in about that time laser eye surgery will advance to the results you're looking for (no pun intended!).
