Just throwing it out there that even though Lasik is relatively commonplace, there are still surgical risks associated with it. Back in 2000, my dad had Lasik surgery. There was a complication (I don't recall what, exactly, offhand), and he ended up having to have a total of five surgeries by the time it was all "fixed." Oh, and he still ended up with contacts. I wear glasses myself, and eventually hope I'll have enough confidence in a procedure to risk it. I'm not telling you not to do it, just be aware that this is a real surgery and involves risk just like any other.
