The big deal for me was, glasses gave me headaches, they were expensive, they break, they constantly need new rx's, the get fogged up, they get lost, if you have an emergency and have to run out of the house, you won't be able to see, they leave marks on your face, they aren't always attractive. Same thing w/ contacts. They gave me eye infections, they took time to put in and take out and take care of, they were expensive, they made my eyes tired and sore. I couldn't see anything at all if I wasn't wearing something. It's not fun to be driving down the street and have a contact pop out, or you get something in your eye. The cost of my surgery was equivalent to about 4 years of contacts, eye exams, and glasses. So in the long run, it was financially smart. It was an amazing feeling to wake up and see the alarm clock. To never have to think about packing eye supplies on trips, or having spares of contacts and glasses around. Well worth it. And I am sure removing a piece of metal from your eye would be a LOT worse than getting LASIK. It didn't hurt, really, it was just uncomfortable and weird. But it was over so fast.
