Sorry to hear about that Caesar, know how much you were looking forward to things!
In terms of lazer eye surgery, I don't have any personal experience with it. However, MissHoo's mum had it done a few years back and her vision is now great! Also one of my mates had it done too and he also swears by it, and said it was worth every penny. I'm sure you'll get a better and more informed opinion from other people but as far as I know it's worth it!
Hope things work out fella.
