Gah! I have had a few of those moments - it's so bad that you can't hardly pick your head up because your whole eye feels like it's being slashed open!
Right now, with the pollen being so crazy here in Georgia, there are days when I feel - all day-like I have sand in my eyes. It SUCKS! But, I am too vain to grab my glasses - particularly because with them on, I suddenly look very much the part of a librarian!
Contacts can also really mess up your eyes - I had a friend who got corneal ulcers from wearing hers too long without cleaning them. It was painful and gross for quite a while.
I completely understand the price factor of the laser surgery - price is the one thing that keeps me from doing quite a lot, lol! I have pretty serious astigmatism too, particularly in my left eye. I love to swim and SCUBA dive, so not having to worry about flushing my contacts out in the water would be awesome. Someday...
Hey - have you noticed your night vision getting worse as your astigmatism increases? I think this is happening to me and it kinda freaks me out!
