Guys, Greetings from Pakistan! . I have been wearing glasses since i was 9, The number fell from -2.5 to double digits when i reached 17. Though it stopped once i turned 18. In may 2013, i've had enough of the glasses. So i went with the Lasik and it turned perfectly fine. Just a lil advice, use glasses or get lasik. DONOT use contact lenses ever, it kinda detoriate the cornea and hence reduces the chances of treating it with LASIK. In case you are wearing lenses on a regular basis, ditch them now and stick to glasses for atleast 5-6 months. Then go see your doc and he will declare you fit fine for the LASIK, cheers!
