It is a good idea to talk to somebody that has had Lasik eye surgery before you decide that you want to have the surgery done yourself.  Before my friend had the surgery done last month, he talked to both of my parents about their experiences with it.  It is a good idea to do so, because they you can formulate some questions for your Lasik surgeon.  That way you will be able to put your mind at ease before you have the surgery.  It is scary enough to have any sort of surgery, without the burden of having questions swirling through your head.  I honestly do not know how I would react to having that type of surgery.  They keep you awake, and they are scraping away at your lens in the your, while you are staring up at the ceiling.  The concept is really frightening to me.  I know they drug you up enough to the point where you cannot even feel it, but I have a hard time even putting drops in my eyes.  I guess I would suck it up and have the surgery done so I would never have to worry about my glasses and contacts again.
