I'm stashing away cash so I can get the surgery when I'm 25. I figure the best way to maximize the benefit is to get it done early as possible.

$5k towards my vision for the rest of the my life is better spent than on a new car.

My brother had it done probably 10-11 years ago now, it was way less than 5k. Even now I see ads for places that do it for like 6-700$ per eye, which is cheaper than when he had it done.
Also, I believe you are only supposed (allowed?) to do it if your prescription hasn't changed in 10 years or so. THough maybe in extreme cases, like imminent blindness they will do it for you.

My prescription has only changed slightly in the last 9 or so years, but I'm so used to wearing glasses, I'm not in any hurry. Also, I'd like to see the long-long term effects of this, incase the aforementioned eyes falling out starts happening.
