Awesome!
I'm sure you have talked to many folks about this stuff, but just in case you haven't heard about wave-front LASIK, you might want to look into that someday. By taking into account the various inconsistencies in your cornea and eyeball, this procedure can provide better vision than would ever be possible with any sort of corrective lenses. It is revolutionary...
You mentioned this, but to reiterate for the benefit of anyone else...you do not want to get any kind of laser eye surgery until your vision stabilizes. Don't go by some arbitrary age...wait until your prescription stops changing from year to year. This happened for me in my late 20s. Otherwise your natural aging/growing process will undo your expensive laser correction in short order.
Again, Wave-Front LASIK has the potential for spectaular improvements beyond anything previously possible with glasses, contacts, or surgery. I would not consider anything else unless you are doing it for the military.
