Awesome article - like you, this is something I've been considering for ages but I've been putting it off because
a) I want to wait for technology to get better (although I know this is a continuous process, like buying a PC),
b) To make sure my eyes stop changing with time, so my eyes won't "grow out" from being perfectly corrected, and
c) I need to save up enough money to get the best of the best treatment.
Gotta admit though - as useful as your article is, I know I'm going to be doing a lot of my own research before I get it anyway! Were there any sites that you found particularly useful?
