I have always had extremely bad vision and pregnancy actually helped mine ---- inititally. AFter two kids it actually got a little worse. I would definately wait until you are done having kids.
My uncle first had it done when they used the scalpels instead of razors and 10+ years later he loves it. His eyes were -6 ish. My brother was -3 and had it done as well for his job and he has had no problems.
I am -7.25 and -7.5 and have been told it's more risky. My doctor recommended waiting as well for more advancements to be made. 10 years ago i was told i could never have it done - now i'm told i can but with caution. Personally I can't afford it with 2 small kids it's a luxury wish list item but I would go for it. Wouldn't it be nice to wake up in the morning and be able to see your alarm clock or not stub your toe on the way to the bathroom because you can't find your glasses? I have had to get my kids to find my glasses for me when they fall off the dresser because i can't see them.
Keep in mind that as you get older you will still need glasses for bi-focals. That can't be corrected.
