    I usually wear glasses, because my contacts give me terrible headaches if they're in too long (something to do with the actual focus, and they will trigger migraines on occassion). They also tend to dry my eyes out horribly, and have a painful tendency to actually get stuck and unable to remove for an additional hour or so. It's not so much a low pain threshold with that...

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    I'd only consider doing it when I'm much older and my eyesight hadn't improved.

    I didn't think you could get it done if you had astigmatism.. that's why I haven't given it much thought. I know if you're long sighted it doesn't work.. or so I've heard.

    I'd say wait till you're older. Then, if you really think you need it, do it

    Initial trials of LASIK procedures started in 1991. Clinical trials began in 1995.

    Laser surgery in general began much earlier, about 1983, but that wasn't LASIK treatment. This is probably what your surgeon was referring to.

    Is wearing glasses really that bad? If the doc messes up, you could end up blind, then you'd regret it forever.
