Years ago I worked at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital. All of the ophthalmologists performed all manner of eye surgery, including corneal surgery for refractive errors. Virtually all of them wore either glasses or contact lenses. When I asked them why none of them had the surgery, each one proclaimed not to trust any of the others!
What Terry said. Go to your GP, express your concerns. If you trust your GP, you should trust his/her recommendation. The odds are very much in your favour. I could name four or five eye surgeons here in Hobart that I would trust with my eyeballs if I had to. (Of course, mistakes can happen, even to the very best.)
