I know three people who have undergone LASIK--two quite successfully and one unsuccessfully. The healing process seems mightily unpleasant. My dad also had laser eye surgery done, but it was a peripheral iridectomy to keep glaucoma at bay.

I would do it some day if I had that kind of money. I have astigmatism, and so contact lenses have never really been an option unless I want to pay more; plus sticking something on my eye kind of squicks me out. But I do like my glasses. To me, they're an expression of my personality.
