Jen (my wife) used to have to wear the old coke bottle glasses, ya know, legally blind and all that.
She had Lasik back in 99 and for the most part does not need glasses at all anymore. She uses a $5.00 pair of reading glasses from OSCO instaed of glasses that used to cost $500 or more a pop and used to have to be replaced evry year.
Go for the Lasik Lee...
