I had
lasik done in 2001 for my 21st birthday. I was at a -8.25 and -8.50. I now have better than perfect vision at 15/20 in both eyes. When I had
lasik they told me I had astigmatism - something my eye doctor had never informed me of. They corrected my astigmatism with the
lasik. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I was so blind I would take my contacts out ever 2 months or so - with 2 week disposables because I hated the idea that if I didn't wear them one night something bad would happen - like there would be a fire and I wouldn't be able to get out of my house. Trying to put makeup on without contacts was a sight to see since my nose would be pressed against the mirror so I could see.
I had mine done at lasikplus - I'd reccomend this to anyone simply because the plan I purchased covers any touch ups on my eyes for the rest of my life.
It was the most expensive surgery per minute - it took 45 seconds for each eye and cost me 3k and it was worth every penny.
I hope you get
lasik, you will love it. Good luck!
