I had very poor vision and astigmatism. I had the Lasiks done 4 years ago and I'm still loving it. I was 36, not old not really young. I was so worthwhile. It did take about 6 months before my (slight) halo effect went away and I do occasionally have dry eyes in the morning, but this is minor compared to the pain in the butt of not seeking at the beach with a kid to watch after!

Do your research. Most Dr, around here give a complimentary exam to see if you are a good candidate. The exam is very thorough(sp).

Good luck
