Laser eye surgery

Almost forgot about this surgery after considering it years ago. Is it still popular? Haven't seen it advertised like it used to be. Any thoughts on it, anyone here had it done? Thanks

    I had mine done in Feb 2013 and it's been fantastic not having to wear glasses and contacts. I had lasek to correct short sightedness and astigmatism.

    That's odd, who told you that? I had it done last year and it's fixed my astigmatism and short sightedness. I had it done at Optical express but I can't see why astigmatism would be a problem anywhere.
