Good question. I find myself considering it from time to time too but it is quite scary. I'm not afraid of the procedure itself, but there's some extreme stories doing the rounds on the interwebs of course, with people ending up with unfixable complications/worse than before eyesight. But of course it's hard to tell the numbers/percentages and what the exact circumstances were. I've got -5 on both eyes so without my contacts I'm pretty helpless
Still i don't really mind wearing them and I'll probably stick with them for a while longer.
