Been There, Done That, Here's the Deal (Score 2)

Both me and my wife had laser surgery to correct our eyesight, and we both now have 20/20 vision (with no touch-ups). I would recommend The Eye Laser Miracle, which explains the various vision correction procedures' details and tradeoffs. Also, go in and do a (usually free) consultation and ask lots of probing questions about the procedures, risks, and odds of various outcomes.

We also know four or five others who have done the Lasik procedure, and only one out of all of us needed a touch-up (which is no big deal anyway).

Oh, and one possible side effect that I and one of my aquaintances have noticed is dry eyes now (though it could be that we always had dry eyes and never noticed it because of the nice wind-shields in front of our eyeballs).
