I was legally blind without glasses or contacts and had a fairly high level of astigmatism. I had lasik done in 2005 and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It was just a little over $2000 at the time, but I went to what was one of the best places in the country at the time to have it done because it happened to be fairly close to me. I was completely comfortable with everything and they did not pressure me or rush me to make a decision about it. They did tell me that as I got older I might still require reading glasses and that that is normal because many people's vision changes over time and with age. It has been 10 years and so far, so good. My best advice is to do your research and get it done at the best place you can afford or reasonably travel to. Your eyes are not worth compromising or going somewhere that isn't great just to get a deal.
