I have bad eyesight and am debating getting laser surgery on my eyes. What do you all know about this?

My wife's eyesight was so bad that she would literally have to get within inches of the mirror to see herself without contacts.
She had it done and can see better than I can with glasses on.
Read up. Humidity can play a BIG factor in what gets done to your eyes. I've had some friends that had to have touch ups b/c of the humidity factor. It was way high when they had it done and their eyes naturally swell (I believe, it may be opposite) and stretched so they had to have touch ups. Most places try to control the humidity in the room anywho.

Well, if you were like me and you could only see a couple inches in front of your face, if contacts scratched your eyes, and thick glasses gave you horrible headaches, why would you not do it? Sure there are risks involved, but they are incredibly small. Do your reseach, find a good doctor, and go on with life in clear vision.Originally posted by Reed
Why do it?

Your eyes are not bad! I remember trying your glasses on once and I could barely tell a difference. I wear glasses that are too weak and probably put me at about the level you are without any at all. What's your prescription, about a -1.75 or so?
I know it's mostly very safe, but I would be scared to do it with eyes as decent as yours.
Of course, as bad as mine are (not like yours Solo Christo--I'm just at -5.50 and -6.75, though I think that's bad enough for a 21-year-old), I would be nervous about getting it. But everyone I know who had it has been pleased.
