I found out today that my brother is getting Lasik surgery. I have to admit that I'm very jealous. I wear thick glasses to correct a terrible astigmatism. Even if I wanted to wear contact lenses, they would have to special fit them. The standard Toric lenses they sell don't work for someone like me. Lasik isn't an option either (even if I had the money). They can only reshape your cornea so much.
On the plus side of this equation . . . Never mind. There is no plus side to this.

On the plus side - you are not messing with your eyes. The JohnnyB and his brother have had Lasik, and are enthusiastic preacher sin favor of it, but I am still refusing to do it.
I've always thought it would be nice if I could get my eyes fixed. Whenever I think about Lasik, though, I get an image of a blind Ned Flanders in the Simpsons episode where Bart dreams about Lisa becoming the president. Flanders said (paraphrasing), "Lasik was great for the first ten years, then my eyes fell out." Classic.
