I had mine done about 2 months ago and dont regret it for a second, it's changed things for the better in so many ways. The problem is that people who don't have to wear glasses 24/7 don't really understand how frustrating it can be. You have to be aware that there are risks associated with the surgery, however the chances of having irreversable damage are less than 1 percent. If you're willing to pay for the procedure (it's NOT cheap) and you're willing to accept that it does carry a risk, then go for it. If you can't make up your mind, have another consultation - at least you can claim the consult on medicare, the rest is mostly out of pocket until tax time.
