Just thought I'd throw this out there. There is another approach to eye surgery as an alternative to LASIK. It's called PRK and a more evolved form of it is called "No Touch PRK", it involves no cutting, so less risk there. It does have a longer healing period though...
Personally, anything about messing around with eyes sets off my alarm bells... don't ask me why, it's sort of an irrational fear of the unknown. Anyway, I'd suggest trying contacts before you make the jump to eye surgery...
Me, I look good in my glasses so I'll keep them, for now atleast
