My glasses and contacts are unbelievably expensive. ~$700 for a years supply of contact lenses and the last pair of glasses I purchased was upwards ~$1000 ($300 frames and $700 for lenses).
Even just aside from the convenience of never wearing glasses, I'm starting to think there is a good just to get the surgery done and not worry about the yearly cost of lenses and glasses.

I am not an optometrist, but had surgery at Demong almost exactly 10 years ago, and it was a complete success. My eyes were -8.0 and -8.5, with astigmatism, although not a terribly strong one (I cannot recall the amount of astigmatism). I am so happy I had it done. Simply FYI...
