I tried contacts at first, but was extremely freaked out about having something floating around in my eye. They didn't have LASIK available back then, so my only other option was glasses. I wore that first pair of glasses for many years, and only replaced them when they snapped in two. There was no way I was walking around with the nose piece taped together. I remember when I went to have them replaced, the woman working their commented about my old pair being out of style. Of course they were, I had been wearing them for years. She helped me pick out a more in style frame, and those are the ones I am still wearing today.
I would love to get rid of these glasses for good, and have been thinking about having iLASIK done. I know a few people who have had this surgery, and they are pleased with the results. They also commented on how they have saved so much money by having the procedure done. They no longer need to buy contacts and cleaning solutions, which can get rather expensive. Yes, Lasik is a bit pricey, but you have to look at it as an investment where you spend money now to save money in the future. Some insurance plans will even cover it, so that is something to look into as well.
Hopefully in the next couple of years I can have my eyes done. I will be so happy to get rid of these glasses.

My hubby had epi-lasik surgery on April 30th, he wasn't a candidate for plain ol' lasik.
But he would HIGHLY recommend to anyone to go through with it, I'm sure ;)
He had 20/20 vision @ his checkup a week after surgery in one eye. At his one month check up both had improved to 20/20 or 20/25, considering how bad his eyesight was this is tremendous for him!!
His glasses prescription was something like -7.5!!
