AFter my mother was "guenie pig" for me, I decided to try it. It was 15 years ago, and I'm still very happy I did it!
The Laser Surgery Center I went to went to sends out reminders to have it done again to previous patients as they age ;-) (79 reasons you should have LASIK!) 

And there really are that many reason. Contact lenses are a pain, glasses get bent and broken and Iwant to jump in the swim pool without worry I will lose a contact lense. So many active things are difficult with glasses, including making love to women ;-)
