A word from the weary:
In the early 90's my mom had RK surgery performed on both her eyes. RK is a very similar procedure compared to LASIK, but the tiny cuts in your eyes are made with a scalpel instead of a laser. The Dr. that performed it cut too wide and deep (something that can happen with LASIK as well), and now my mom is legally blind. She has something like 20/300 vision in both her eyes, and her vision cannot be corrected enough by glasses to allow her to work. The scarring from the surgery left her intolerant to contacts, so she can't wear them anymore.
I'm fairly certain the surgeon was sub-par, so do your research.
