I want to get this done too but I am scared, really scared. Not just of the actual procedure but also the consequences like: what if I end up being long-sighted instead, what will I have gained? A different type of glasses? What if I end up with halos? What are the long-term conseqences of doing this – like 15 years from now?

I also worry about the doctor: how do I figure out who is a really good surgeon? I don’t know anyone who’s had lasik. All the so called well-known clinics sound like a factory processing people on a conveyor belt.

I think when you’re scared, you tend to think of the worst. I haven’t really stepped out and looked into it – but I SO want to.
