I wore glasses from age 16 to 25. I've never once worn contacts - couldn't deal with touching my eyeballs every morning. Got LASIK at 25 (i'm now 36). BEST DECISION EVER. I had it done in Manhattan - cost was about 4500 but I paid it via an FSA which reduced the costs further. I did have the "Halo" effect for about 6-8 months - especially on traffic lights at night, but it eventually went away. The only downside is that my eyes can feel dry from time to time - not sure if that is due to LASIK or just from being tired [I have 5 year old twins;)]. I am curious/nervous that the effects will wear off - but even if they do and I need to go back to glasses the last 10 years have been more than worth it.
