All you scaredy-cats..
I had it done 7 years ago and it was easily the best money I ever spent. My prescription before the op was also exactly the same as yours, Utoo, even with the slight difference between eyes (normal).
Although my eyesight now is not as perfectly sharp as it was with glasses, it's easily clear enough that I haven't had to even consider glasses although they do say that as per normal your eyes will change over time. To be able to live for many years without depending on that handicap is fantastic though.
As for the op itself, don't listen to the naysayers.
If even a tiny percentage of all LASIK procedures had gone horribly wrong, you'd certainly be hearing about it. They do the analysis work beforehand to decide whether or not your type of vision impairment is suitable, and what the expected vision will be afterwards.
The work itself (let's not use terms like 'slicing', 'cornea', 'flaps', etc
) takes all of 15 minutes for both eyes, maybe less these days, then you put on the dust covers for a few days and you're away. No swimming or sport for a few months though.
With your insurance cover you should get a consultation at the very least. And when you're on that table remember to keep
perfectly still.
