The choice to proceed with lasik eye surgery can be a difficult decision to make. My cousin was going through the worst nightmare in her life and needed to act fast in order to save her vision. Her eyesight was slowly deteriorating and she panicked at the thought that she could lose her eyesight. She was myopic and the contact lenses she was using were not helping her much, so she needed an alternative, and a strong one at that. The thought of life without vision was unbearable.
