I have -1 (It is the layman term.. not sure what it is called) but I have had constant -1 for over 12 years now... Am used to glasses, but I am waiting for some non invasive, non-side-effect treatment to come out...
Who's gotten LASIK done before?

My wife had her eyes done roughly 8 years ago and paying for that surgery was one of the worst mistakes of my life.
I had her convinced that I had a huge dick ..... FUCKING LASIK

Gonna be getting it done soon, I hope. I'm fuckin sick of wearing contacts, and I'm only 20 lol.
Anyone here get advanced surface treatment? It's supposed to be a lot better and safer than LASIK. I know two people who've had it done a year ago and they're loving having it done.
Yeah, I had the same experience.. after about 6 years of wearing contacts every day though I can now put them both in after a few seconds without a mirror, lol. You get used to it pretty quickly.
I love my contacts, I'll probably never get laser crap done. My dad's girlfriend got hers done, she had VERY bad eyesight, THICK THICK glasses kind of bad, and after 4 years, now she has little floaties in her eyes that fucks with her vision. Hard to explain, but fuck that.
I'd never do it. I use daily disposable lenses. I see no reason to risk going blind or even get complications which are considered "regular" like dry eyes or halos...

Find someone who'll do it one eye at a time. Then at least you'll get to wear an eye patch like a pirate if something goes wrong.
I had it done 10 years ago. I wasn't a fan of the actual procedure, freaked the shit out of me even though it didn't hurt, but I could already read the name of the machine as I was stumbling out of the surgery. when I woke up the next day I was seeing color levels and depth of field that I didn't even know existed.
Yes they do. IMO it's well worth it. I was around -5, so terrible, needed glasses / contacts for anything beyond not getting run over. OP, it will take a few months to fully stabalise, but within a day or 2 I could function normally. Cost me £2700 (Americans multiply by 1.6).
A year later it's fine except if for if I use screens a load, my right eye weakens slightly at night. Solution: regular breaks and optional eye drops.
Just woke up for the first time in the morning. Being able to see the time on my clock was crazy. My first thought was 'shit, did i forget to take out my contacts?'
Freakin. Awesome.

Shit, that's how I felt when I first started using monthlies (contacts) because you can sleep in them.
If I had that every day... gah. I'd be a happy man.
PS - Mattseh told me they don't have to cut your eye open if they have some sort of laser way to do it. I'll be probably scheduling a consultation now.
They cut a flap, zap your eyes, then lay the flap back down to heal.
Basically... don't watch any videos of it being done and you'll be ok.
they give you a vicodin too before the procedure to relax you.
Seriously.... just do it. You WON'T regret it.
-4 and -4.25
I was under the laser for just over 40 seconds while some of the other people in the post-op room were saying they were only under for 10-15. I was clearly the blindest in the bunch
Also, just to note this as well, I am in no discomfort at all. Granted, I am on a tightly regimented eye drop schedule. They give you 3 different types of eye drops to use. One is breakfast, lunch, dinner, and before you go to sleep. The other two are breakfast and dinner. You also have eye lube drops you can use whenever you want. After one week, the regularly scheduled eye drops goes down from 3 different types per day to 1 per day.
