if you don't need reading glasses now, after you have them corrected to 20/20, 
you probably would need them after the surgery. some doctors would suggest 
'mono-vision", i.e., under-correct one eye so you don't need reading glasses. 
it is up to you.

others possible side effects : dry eyes, night vision problem.

oh, yes, like the other said, have your cornea checked.

i'm not sure about the cost any more. i had mine done @ Scott Hyver (sp?) in 
Santa Clara. he & his staff were very friendly. my optometris had his eyes 
done by Dr. Manche @ Stanford who was supposed to pretty good. but i didn't 
like his optometrist. she only spent only 10 min for my prescription. (it was 
a busy days & lot's of people were waiting to have eyes checked.) anyway, i 
just didn't trust her prescription.
