I'm worse than you, Turrbo, with something like -8 or -9. But after years of happily wearing contacts, I began to find them very uncomfortable. Apparently my eyes were changing shape, and that was goodbye to contacts forever. I think I may be beyond Lasik as well, with a prescription that bad...Oh well. In the grand genetic lottery, I got good hair and good teeth, but crappy eyesight, which is easier to mitigate than thin hair or crooked teeth or bad skin etc. So I should feel lucky, right?
Back on topic, I had one friend who got the surgery, and in spite of some icky complications in the first few weeks, he reported that it was the best thing he ever did.
