That said, I went for an eye exam yesterday and my eyes keep getting worse and worse... Seems like I'm not too far from Coke-bottle contacts or from the optometrist prescribing me a German Shepherd.

For the past few eye appointments my eyes have been pretty stable. I'm going in for Lasik in about three weeks. My eyes are 20/400 (I can barely make out the big "E" on the eye chart while squinting) and I have astigmatism in both eyes. Apparently this makes me a good candidate for the "wavefront" technology. Cost is around $2300/eye. I'll let you know how it comes out.
