My wife had it done in 97. She does need reading glasses now, but overall doing well with it.

Do it! Pay whatever it cost! More life changing than losing your virginity.

No, but you will need reading glasses.

Best money I've ever spent. By far.

I had it back in '10. I went from -6 to perfect in literally three minutes. Only side effect is that my night vision is not that great, especially if it's rainy. It's not halos like most people get. It's just hard to see shite. Sometimes at night I have to let my wife drive. Knowing that side effect, I'd still do it again.

Did it a year and a half ago. Glad I did it. Saves so much time putting in contacts, taking them out, bringing spares on vacation, etc.
Dr. Williamson did my surgery. They won't do it if you have a -8.00 or worse. I barely qualified. Had -7.75 in left eye, -7.00 in right eye.

Thing I hate the most is dealing with night vision halos if you have your contacts in

Had it done almost 17 years ago. Not a single issue since I left the operating table, and vision has been perfect ever since. Best money I ever spent.

I went from almost blind to better than 20/20 overnight. Had it done on morning of 9/11, still 20/20...

Had it done in 2008 after wearing glasses or contacts since Jr. High. Life-changing.
They told me I was an ideal candidate as far as whatever factors they evaluate. Had some light sensitivity, and kinda still do, but nothing that's bothersome. I know some have more trouble with halo'ing or nightime vision.
Went from 20/400 or something to 20/10. It's degraded a little since, and I'm around 20/15 to 20/20 now.

I am thinking about getting this many years down the road. I see no reason to get this surgery in my 20s and 30s if my eyesight will eventually deteriorate again. I'd rather get it in my 50s and 60s.

Had it done ten years ago. Corrected to 20/20 from something God awful. Actually had to go in about 5 years ago and have one eye recorrected. but no issues with the surgery itself.
Now if I could just get that night vision surgery.
