LASIK eye surgery, thoughts, comments, experiences.

Anyone have any thoughts, comments, or experiences regarding LASIK? I had my eyes checked yesterday and my contact are giving me some pretty bad irritation. The doctor said i was a prime candidate, though. This is because my eyes have not gotten worse than the 20/300 they currently are.

Cost wise, i have seen prices from $500 per eye to $2500 per eye. I would have to finance the surgery either way. What are average costs?

To all those prepared to flame me for not asking a doctor, i am doing back next thursday for a checkup.
