Had the LASIK done at 36, mainly because I had had enough stumbling around with Turnout Gear and SCBA and mask on in my time with the VFD...

The doctor down here said to me I was a good "borderline" candidate (I believe I was in the 20/400 range), so we did it...He fine tuned the procedure to give me 20/25, which took care of the vision for reading and driving...Shooting took care of itself...

He also told me that in about 4 years (at 40) that the eyes would gradually start to deteriorate back into a condition that would eventually require some correction...I'm 45, and still not wearing glasses, and or contacts, and I barely passed the eye exam for my last DL update...grrrrrrr!!!

I heard that there is an implant procedure that works for folks like Crossfire and myself, but her condition may not allow for it, considering the history of post-LASIK complications...

I'm pretty sure it'll once again take my other arm and leg (cost-wise) but I am looking into it as soon as the income and savings allow for it...I'll pay cash for the procedure...

Overall, I still believe the corrective procedures in this industry are safe...And obviously will improve your shooting if your vision is below par...

Just my opinion...
