Vision Correction/Lasik surgery

A guy I played little league baseball with just ended up killing himself. His tale was in the local paper. He had lasik and it gave him double vision and he had bad halo effects around lights at night. He couldn't drive at night because the halo effects were too confusing. Docs couldn't do anything to correct it. He was getting constant headaches, he became depressed, and apparently decided to end it all.

I know the chances of this happening are very low, but man, I'll take my glasses and contacts any day of the week. I wouldn't go near it with a 10-foot pole. Not worth it to me at all. But that's just me.

Weigh the risk/reward for yourself. Very very large chance of everything working fine, with the benefit of being able to see without glasses. Very very small chance of your life being COMPLETELY RUINED.
