Getting Lasik was one of the best things I've ever done. I dealt with glasses from about 4th grade to 7th grade, then contacts/glasses till I was about 32. Contacts (at least the kind that were available when I had to wear them) have to be bad for your eyes. I remember having irritation/conjunctivitis all the time. Scratched corneas were a part of life, and losing a contact while skiing, biking, anything was a major pain in the asss.
I never felt comfortable wearing glasses. It didn't seem natural to view the world through glass an inch from my face.
8 years after Lasik, everything is still good, though I've been told I will likely need reading glasses at some point in the future.
Didn't Tiger get Lasik a long time ago? I have a feeling Ko will do it as well.
