My friend Eric recently had Lasik in Denver done.  He is in a band out there called Kinetix, and he thought that it was about time he stopped taking the stage wearing his glasses.  In high school he used to wear contacts, but after having some eye problems, his eye doctor told him that he could no longer wear contacts.  Some of the time he will take the stage without his glasses on, but he really does need them to be able to see.  They are really an up and coming band, and I had been telling him for a while that they need an image overhaul before they can make it big.  He finally relented, and decided it was time to ditch the glasses look.  I have not seen him since he had the surgery, but he sounds really pleased with the results.  They are coming back out to the Midwest in a couple of weeks, and I am really excited to see him.  We grew up three houses apart from each other, and it stinks sometimes not being able to see him that often.  They usually base their Midwest tours out of Chicago, so there will be a few weeks that we get a chance to hang out.
