"The main thing that is stopping me now is that like you, programming is my livelihood and thus I spent a major part of my day staring into the monitor. I have read that there is always a certain percentage of patients not regaining 20/20 vision but it's OK for them since most of them don't need that sharp vision during work."
You need 20/20 vision to write code? I manage to get by with 20/50 (corrected).. 20/20.. must be nice. As for glasses/contacts being too cumbersome.. I don't buy that for a second. LASIK is essentially a cosmetic proceedure since it doesn't enhance vision beyond the point of your best corrected vision. (It does slightly, sometimes.)
