Default Lasik surgery

It's been several years that FB and I have been considering lasik. I'm particularly miopic (-5.25 in both eyes), but wearing contacts doesn't really bother me much.

Anyone here had it done? Or do you know anyone who has had the procedure? I occasionally hear rave reviews on it, but have never really heard any long term effects about it. The way I see it (haha), we'll all need some kind of vision correction as we get older, so I figure that even if I get the surgery, I'll still need glasses one day. Then again, I am so miopic right now that I think I really should get it done. I'm not sure...

I've thought about it, but didn't rush into getting it done. I'm just apprehensive because it is my eyes. People swear by it and I'm sure techniques and technology improved from a few years ago, but I'm still weary. My vision isn't that bad and I like my contacts, so if my eyes remain healthy and I can still wear contacts, for now, I'll just wait.

I have a couple of friends and my sister also had it done successfully. They are raving about being able to see without their glasses.

I suppose it depends on the facility, surgeon and your health.
The proceedure seems to be pretty mainstream now so just research the best place to go and get it done.

I know a couple of people who have had it done, and they say it's the best thing they have ever done.

DH had it done 2 years ago and aside from slightly dimished night vision, his eye sight is perfect.

I have a slight prescription in one eye so It's not worth it for me at this point to have it done.

Lasik is not the best and you are always in danger as the outside of the eye that they cut in to a flap never heals.
My wife had he PRK wavefont much more expensive but worth it.
Chris you might want to talk to her about it at the Penthouse party she can fill you in first hand as she did lot of research before the operation.

I'd rather wear my glasses or my contacts the thought of losing my sight forever because of a little mishap scares the crap out of me. Maybe I'd consider it in about 10 years...

I have had it and it works great. Choose your doctor well. This guy is a great surgeon and has a high end clinic, but it is in Toronto:
herzig eye institute

Short term I've heard great things.
Long term, not so sure.
