I'm 20 and my vision has been horrible since I was 7. I don't think my vision will be getting much worse...I haven't needed a stronger prescription for the past 2 years, but if laser surgery becomes cheap enough in the next 5 years, I might take advantage of it. I don't like being reliant on contacts and glasses, and the cost of surgery shouldn't be much more than the cost of contacts and glasses over my lifetime.

My cousin got laser surgery when she was about 21 I think. She was out of it for a day or two, and for a month her eyes were sensitive, she wore sunglasses. Her vision is perfect now, I haven't asked her recently how sensitive her eyes feel, it's been like 4-5 years since that though.

 

Damn, at 21?  I can get it pretty cheap through my school insurance, so I kinda want to get it this year before I graduate, but I heard it's risky to get it in your 20's and you should wait until you're at least 35 or so.

Everything's been great for 4-5 years so far?
