    I know they use lasers to knock out protein deposits built up behind cataract lenses but am waiting for them to come up with a way to take care of scarring caused by Choroideremia.

    Definitely something worth getting, I know quite a few people who have had it done and have no regrets. That being said, plenty of complications that can arise so do your research before jumping in.

    Laser treatement for eyes is very common and popular nowadays in my countries and many Asian countries .
    It is very reliable.
    One of my schoolmate used to have the operation and the positive effect is perfect .
    It costs only around $600 here .

    Everyone's eyes are different, so it would be hard to tell you what exact advantages or disadvantages you personally would have, however, in general the advantage is that you see better without correction. As a -2.50 you probably wouldn't have much trouble, but as I said, everyone is different and there are certain factors that could effect your end result. Laser vision correction is very safe and quite easy. It takes maybe 15 minutes and you go home right after.
