Okay so first off all I would like to know if my eye is 20/50 or 2/100 or whatever. I don't know what it is but I wear 1.75+ contact lenses but I probably would have to wear 2.00+ soon.

Secondly are there ANY REAL solutions to improve eyesight naturally. Personal experience/tips would be awesome.

Any side effects in the short/long term or things someone considering lasic should be aware of?

Yeah I actually had it done at the hospital by an award winning optometrist. He was like 2-3 times the price but you're eyes aren't something to cheap out on. Make sure you don't just go to one of those whole in the wall places.

I was planning on having Lasik ever since but the thing is I want to join the Air Force after college. They have strict requirements, Lasik means disqualification so that's not an option for me now. My only option is to improve my eyesight to at least 20/50 before joining in.

How's the procedure? Painless? Comfortable?

Ask your doctor, maybe?
