I had it done about 2 years ago -- by far the best decision I've ever made. However, I got it done only after my eyes started rejecting contacts (watery, irritated eyes) and I couldn't bear the thought of switching back to glasses. This is a SURGERY and shouldn't be taken lightly.
Of course, do your research and pick a good surgeon. Don't listen to these people when they say that a lot of the operations go badly. A vast majority of them go extremely well, but that doesn't mean there aren't risks.
