You can get it free through the military. In fact, this month, my ship is the "ship of the month" meaning we who qualify (over 1 year left on board, over 3 left in the military) get jumped to the top of the waiting list. The Navy only does PRK though, not LASIK. I have -4/-4.25, slight astigmatism in my right eye. I hope I'll be a suitable candidate.
A chief buddy of mine who had it done through the Navy a year ago said the procedure was painless, but after a day he was in agony for about 48 hours where he said it completely sucked to be alive. But then the pain went away and his vision is perfect, no night vision problems, no blurriness, no side effects whatsoever. I'm perfectly willing to wish I was dead for 2 days to never have to wear glasses again. Tomorrow is the sign-up.
Wish me luck!
