. Nepali_Flag - Negative seven is a high prescription I would say but I have seen people who have a prescription of negative nine (hard to believe, innit?). Btw, you can always keep an option of wearing contacts if you have no problems wearing them. But then again LASIK can keep you away from eye glasses and contact lenses troubles. As far as I remember there was a promotion/program which would let you pay your bill in installments and free of interest for 18 months or so. A acquitance of mine who went through the LASIK surgery had a positive response. So I guess myopians will not have to live the rest of their lives making glasses/lenses as soulmates. :-) Good luck!
