If you've had LASIK, are you happy?
I remember reading a Golf Digest article from a few years ago about Tiger and dozens of other pro golfers and other athletes getting it done around 2000 when it first became wide-spread and thinking I'd never do it myself. However, I'm now 22 and my eyes have been relatively stable lately, so I'm thinking about taking the plunge.
I realize there are immediate risks, but once the procedure is done, have there been any common long-term risks? LASIK has been around for at least a decade, so there must be enough long-term data out there.
Or are all of us near-sighted individuals still better off sticking with contacts?
