[quote=Anonymous]Everyone I know who got Lasik either had to have it re-done or wound up in glasses anyway. Some of them were people who told me I was dumb not to do it and it lasted less than 10 years for them and now their eyes are worse than mine.

I guess I could have done it my early 30s -- I could have afforded it at that point. But I'm glad I didn't. My eye prescription hasn't changed in over a decade (I'm early 40s now), so I've only had two pairs of glasses in that time. My contacts are not pricy with insurance (like $100 a year). My eye appointments are fully covered by insurance and also screen me for things like glaucoma and cataracts. A few years ago I developed ocular migraines (I also have regular migraines) and it was really helpful to be able to see my eye doctor who I trust and helped me figure out what was going on.

So I think I've spent less money than I would have on Lasik. And I personally don't find glasses/contacts that onerous. Also I look cute in glasses.[/quote]
