The worst part of it IMO is the drops that you have to use after the procedure.
The only regret you will have is not doing it sooner.
ETA
I was given a Valium morning of procedure & sleeping pills for after. Not supposed to do anything day of.
Next morning went back for check up & could do whatever.
Metal,clamps to hold your eyes open are worst part, but not painful.
I had no issues with itching, burning or dryness.
Night driving was difficult at first due to blurriness but that is supposedly due to dry eyes.
Good luck

Buddy of mine had it done Friday and played golf Saturday. Said his eyes burned a little day of but it wasn't bad. Also said it only took about 15 minutes.

Blindness.

Feels one something is pushing in in your eye, but the Laser surgery doesn't hurt so to speak. The metal clamps they use to hold your eye open caused more pain than the actual procedure. My vision was blurry, and not perfect for about 48 hours. First night was a little hazy and sensitive to light, but I watched TV and was able to see. Pretty easy process and recovery. Dryness for about two to three weeks for me.
It is life changing for the better, and well worth it. Good luck!

It burns like fire, your eyes will water for a few weeks after, and if you're like me, you'll see unfocused out of one eye permanently. Good news, no more glasses, though.

Dryness and itching is the worst part. Buy a big box of artificial tears and stick them in the fridge.

Same here. I drove myself to the check up the next morning. Saw 20/15 within a couple days.

You have a better chance of going blind from jerking off.

I did it seventeen years ago.
Your eyes will itch and burn for the afternoon when the anesthetic wears off. Take a sleeping pill. The next morning everything is fine. Just don't rub your eyes for a couple of weeks, and stay the hell out of hot tubs.
Best money I ever spent. I walked out of the surgery room and could read the clock on the wall for the first time in my life (a bit hazy). I dropped my glasses in the trash and walked out. The next morning I had 20/15 vision.
ETA - the surgery is quick and mostly painless. They said I would feel pressure when the vacuum pump started, but I felt pain. Just for a few seconds, though.

Pretty much you're out for the rest of the day, eyes a bit itchy, but the next day it's simply amazing how clear everything is. This will be one of the best investments you've ever made.

I had it 8 years ago and I feel like I need it again. Anyone else have this issue?

Most folks I know rave about the results. I do have one friend here in NoVa who had a bad result. His eyesight is far worse and his distance vision is horrible.
No way I would let anyone mess with my eyes. I won't even use contacts. Glasses work just fine for me when I need them.
Good luck.
ETA: Some may not like the fact that there can be bad results with LASIK surgery, but it's a fact. While it may be rare, it's one of the reasons why the surgeon will require that the patient sign an informed consent before the procedure begins.

I wish you nothing but the best.
Afterwards, maybe you can see your way clear to being less of a douche and cock gobbler.

no pain. Expect great distance vision. Use your drops. You may see halos at night for a month, but this is normal. Enjoy your new vision.

I have the same thing. Got it about 10 years ago and I now wear glasses again. Really only need them for one eye though. Maybe I can bring the monocle back.

Was the best decision I ever made. Took about 3-4 minutes for each eye. No pain at all and could see perfectly the next morning. Just sleep and each time you wake up your vision will be better.

The surgery itself isn't bad at all. I had it done by Dr Singer in NO. They gave me a valium to relax me before surgery and with the anesthetic eyedrops, you don't feel anything more than just a feeling of some pressure on your eyes.
After the anesthetic drops wore off though, my eyes burned and itched like hell. That's why the doc prescribed me Ambien to fill before the surgery. Took Ambien and slept until the next morning. Next morning, drove myself to follow up appointment and went to work like normal afterwards.
Just follow doc's instructions with antibiotic and steroid eyedrops for helping to heal up and make sure you have that Ambien ready for when the anesthetic drops wear off because that was by far the worst part.
