when i was at my eye dr. a couple weeks ago, we were talking about the possibility of laser surgery, and he basically said that in a couple years, lasik is going to be completely outdated.
apparently, they are already using a procedure in which they basically "implant" a permant contact in your eye. it's supposed to be lower-risk than lasik and everyone can have it done (whereas with lasik, people with thin corneas could not have it done).
anyway, he said that by the time i'm 30 or so, prices should come down on it a lot and my vision should be stabilized, so i would probably be a good candidate
