I had Lasik done about 10 years ago. I can't even begin to express how happy I am with it! I was in glasses at 9, and then in contacts at 11. I stayed in the hard contacts for a really long time which had the added advantage of keeping my astigmatic eyes flattened and keeping them from further degradation. I did everything a contact wearer, especially a hard contact wearer is NOT supposed to do... I swam with them, occasionally slept with them, and even went through all of Basic Training (except the gas chamber) with them. I actually managed to hang onto one pair from my late teens until I was almost 30. I had my daughter on my shoulders at the Frankfurt Zoo, and she tipped a little and grabbed my face knocking one out. when I went to an optometrist to get them replaced he laughed at me and told me that he would have to have the equipment MADE to make my contacts! I had to go into the gas permeable ones then, and I never completely got used to them. when I was checked out for Lasik I was warned that I might still have to wear glasses in addition to the surgery. I was SO near sighted that I was happy with any improvement. my initial exam had me at 20-15. I know that I've slipped a bit as the most distant targets when I am shooting are a bit fuzzy. I think you can have a "tune-up" which I will definetly check out!
