Good point, Sue re. infection and that death is a risk with any procedure.
The first week I think I had eye drops (antibiotic and another one) every hour or two. That was fun. Then it went to straight antibiotic 4QD for 3 weeks.

DH just had his done 1.5 weeks ago. He went from having vision like you and being practically blind...to 20/20. I was shocked to see him read the time off the TV across the room within hours of the surgery. Usually he needed glasses or contacts to do so.
He went to the Dr. who does lasik surgery in the D-backs here in Phoenix. A little more costly, but worth the peace of mind that he was going to a good doctor.
 from this aspect.

My girlfriend had it done and had a bad experience. She had to have 1 redone I believe. She says if she could do it over she wouldn't have done it.

It always cracks me up when they have these big ads in the paper like "$69 an eye!" Or something crazy along those lines about how cheap it can be. Like eye surgery is where I want to get the cheapest price, vs. getting it done by the best.  I figure my eyesight is worth top dollar if I'm doing it!!!!!

Depending on how much I will be working in the field will depend on whether or not I ever get it done.
I will also wait until the point where I need bifocals so I get it all fixed at one time.

Nope. 1) You don't get a second pair of eyes. If the surgery breaks bad on you, you're screwed. 2) I'm not that good-looking with my glasses off (either).
