Ok my dad put the idea in my head this morning when I moaned about the cost of glasses-about £100 for thinned and coated lenses with frames, times this over my life and yeh it would probably cost the same as an operation!
So dad suggested having the surgery. Howver I'm not sure, he mentioned Boots doing it which would be good and said he was sure the cost has come done to £750 per eye. (think he's been researching!)
So has anyone on here had it done or someone they know? if so do you recommend it?
I know I should google myself but any sites I shoukd refer to-moderators do you have any on here?
thanx for any help guys!

I would love to have laser eye surgery because my eyes are really bad and I hate wearing glasses or contacts.
The surgery can't prevent the natural degredation of the eye that means you might need reading glasses in later life, and it doesn't always correct to 20/20 or better, but it mostly does, methinks.
I've talked to people who have had it done and they say there is some discomfort for a couple of days afterwards but after that its been fine and they're glad they had it done.
It is quite expensive however but it depends how you are with glasses, my boyfriend loses or breaks glasses quite often so for him to pay to get laser surgery done will probably work out better financially in the long run.
Anyways thanks guys!
I have one of the worst eyesights, and have rugby ball shaped eyes instead of the normal 'football' shape. Contact lenses cost me £250 per pair, so they're a no go.
And to have ultrathin lenses, my glasses cost £250, and as I'm only 17 I have to have new glasses every 6 months.
So, I'm guessing lazer surgery is the best option.
