This link that Senusret posted had lots of "testimonials" about lasik. I posted in there before, but I'll add here that I had the surgery about 7 years ago. Everything went well, but I'm back in glasses again because of astigmatism (started wearing them about 3 years ago - also have some for the computer because I'm on it all day at work). I don't wear them all the time - usually when I'm driving at night and need that "sharpness". Last eye checkup, I asked the doc why did it seem like the astigmatism was getting worse, and his belief is that it wasn't all corrected through the surgery.
I don't know if I would go through the procedure again, but I am glad I had it done.
