Lasik
Had Lasik in 1997. I had been wearing glasses for 25+ years at the time of the operation. It is an easy operation. Be aware that even if you have Lasik, over time your eyes will nonetheless change and you may eventually need glasses/contacts later anyway.
Not having to wear glasses or contacts is wonderful. I no longer remember what it was like to have to fuss w/ them all the time.
Be cautious as to who you have do the surgery. My wife is a nurse who assists in Lasik surgeries. Based on her experience I was very careful who I had do the surgery. I have been told a good rule of thumb is that the more advertising the doctor does, the more cautious you should be (because the doctor has to do enough surgeries to pay for that overhead and so may be more willing to do a surgery that is more risky than would otherwise be done).
