4 years ago got Lasik in both eyes. I had astigmatism also and was near sighted. It was the best thing I ever did. I now have 20/20 vision. It is a little more difficult to read small print these days, but I still don't require reading glasses. Of course, before the Lasik I could focus on small print about six inches in front of me. Now I need at least 15 inches to focus. Can see distant objects clearly now.
No more messing with glasses and contacts. It cost $1800 for both eyes, think it may be even cheaper today.
Thank you for all of your replies. I am scheduling the surgery on Monday and having the procedure soon.
Lastly, $1800 or less...I'm very happy about that. 8^)
