If you can see fine except for driving or movies, do not mess with your vision. I was a coke-bottle glasses kid who jumped at the chance to get the first contact lenses in the early 60's. When the 2nd generation of lasers was perfected, I jumped at the opportunity to get the Lasix surgery. Legally, I was blind at a -7 and -8.5. Before surgery, I tried out monovision contacts and chose to have my eyes surgically corrected for near AND far vision. Some brains cannot handle this, so be sure you try it out before hand. I have had my new vision for 15 years and at 66, still do not need reading glasses. I paid $5000 for the surgery and follow-up care.
There are many horror stories out there. Do your research. This procedure changed my life, but I did not take the decision lightly.
