Should I have LASIK eye surgery?

My eyes are pretty bad. I have about the limit as far as an astigmatism correction with LASIK goes. I have a LASIK consultation this coming Thursday. Still, I am really scared about having the procedure after reading a few articles, but my eyes are bad enough to prevent me from getting some jobs *with* correction.

Should I go through with it? Are those gloom and doom articles exaggerating?
Example of a gloom and doom article/site:

Yes, this site is likely biased.

I’m sure it’s worth it, to be able to see well again.
But the feeling in your eye’ll be..ugh.
Try staring (not really) into a Wii-mote, and imagine the after effect about…10 times worse for awhile.

    What gloom and doom articles?

    Vision correction surgery has been around for years. It was available for wealthy people and celebrities for 20+ years before it was available for the "common people".
