I had it done in 98 by Icon in the Springs...about $2k. Like others, best money I've spent.

Doctor Hock up here in Evergreen, he was one of the first to start doing it in CO (he and one other fella). My old man got it done when it first emerged and only now (16 or so years later) is he needing reading glasses for close up things, but that's also due to age. I'm planning to get it one day, just because, Like Rooskie, I curse changing contacts, even if I have the 30 day extended wear ones.

I have also been considering it. Do most of these offices offer good financing options for it?
IF you have any issues with your eyes [ previous trauma, etc] while lasik is good you have a good chance of loosing depth perception

I had Icon do mine back in January of this year. My wife had hers done two years ago. Truly the best money ever spent.
Best money I've ever spent in my entire life. Got it done 2 years ago at Spivak vision center. Cost about 3k. Knowing what I know now, I would have paid even more if I had to.
I had PRK done back in 1999 and had to have a free touch up in 2005, but it was the best money I've ever spent. I did have some eye dryness issues with the first surgery, but the "enhanced" surgery I later did, fixed whatever the issue was. It also expanded the surgical area so I didn't have the halo effect from the first surgery. Very happy with mine. I did lose some night vision, but it was a fair trade to not have to deal with contacts or glasses. Now, with age, I am getting to the point where I'm going to need 'old man glasses' for reading and whatnot, but I hear they are developing a surgical technique to fix that as well.
In a nutshell, if you are a good candidate for it, do it!

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
ok, I'm no longer on the fence. I'll utilize my flexible spending account in 2014 to get lasik. I already know I'm a good candidate because my optometrist has asked me why I haven't done it yet for the last 2 years. I just haven't really hated my contacts that much and figure the price would keep coming down...
