I however, cannot wrap my head around the idea of blasting away at my eyes with a laser. It scares the crap out of me to think something could go wrong. Eyesight is the one sense I would keep above all else, if I could keep only one. I wish I had the balls to just say F it, get it done, but I have been dodging the decision for 15 years now.

I feel exactly the same way. I look at the cost too a bit, even with the lasik, I might still need glasses later on so what would be the point? I have monthly contacts that cost $150 / year that I can sleep in for a month at a time, and the issue with night vision that some people have brought up makes me nervous, so I don't think you need to feel bad about not doing it. And yeah, eyesight is the last sense I would ever want to lose for no good reason.. Although my eye doctor gives me for a hard time for sleeping with my contacts in despite them being approved for it.
