My vision is bad enough that my lenses are very thick and heavy. Glasses slide all around and annoy the crap out of me after a while.
I'm 29. I don't know how that would affect laser eye procedures. I do know that after seeing that movie "Final Destination" that I am scared of the idea though. That film gave me nightmares for a long time.
Lots of love,

My eyes were always so bad that the military did not even want me to be drafted!
But the thickness of the lenses (the dioptrins) are not the problem, the curvature and skew of your eye (partly astigmatism) is the bigger problem. Any laser eye specialist will do a free of cost exam and determines whether Lasik or related procedures can be done with your eyes.
The process itself is pain free and very accurate. It is computer controlled, and mistakes are hardly possible.
Because of my astigmatism, I could not have it done.
I had conventional surgery done to my eyes. Which means, they cut my eyeball open, ripped the old lens out of it and put a new, artificial lens back in. It had to heal for about 8 days, and my eye patch was removed. For me it was as if the world all of a sudden was being shown to me in the newest technicolor technology! It was just a dream, after a life with glasses (first thing on in the morning, last thing off at night), I was liberated!
The biggest sensation was feeling wind hitting my eyes. I never had wind hitting my eyes from the front in almost 60 years, I could not remember the feeling of it. It was almost overwhelming for me!
Go get your eyes looked at, you still can feel wind on your eyes when you are relatively young!
