First, get connected with an eye doc who is up to date and not personally opposed to refractive surgery. Let him or her follow you for a couple years.
If you are young, the golden age for surgery is between 25-30. This gives you the potential for clear vision without glasses or contacts for the longest period of time. Note that this is potential and not a guarantee. This also means you can have surgery after this time period and love it tremendously.
If you already have issues such as dry eye or significant glare / haloes at night time, be cautious.
I can't over emphasize the value of an optometrist or ophthalmologist who really knows your eyes with regard to advising you on refractive surgery. All bets are off for those who have the procedure done on a whim.
