A lot of people here are saying it's not worth it because of the risk. What about the risk of wearing contact lenses? That's a huge risk. People seem to think that no one ever goes blind or has permanent damage because of contacts.
I had lasik done a year ago and never regretted it. However, although most people report that it doesn't hurt, for me it was extremely painful. The operation itself was quite painful but when I got home and the strong painkillers wore off, i was in agony. I still don't quite know why it hurt for me.
By the morning after the pain was gone, and I haven't had any other problems. My vision slowly improved and stabilised further over the next 3 months and I have never had dry eyes or other side effects. I say go for it.
