I just got it done two weeks ago too.
I did not want to do it until now cuz i was so scared about possible complication. But recently I started to have problems with contact lenses getting red eyes and serious dryness. I heard that it is common to have these problems with contact lenses especially if you wore them for about 10 yrs (my case 7 yrs).
I could not afford to have dryness and red eyes during my school yrs since I start dental school in Aug and dryness seems to make me feel more tired. So I have decided to get it done before I start school.
I was able to see right out of the surgery. One day of rest, and I was good to go any where.
Because my sights are really bad (D-7.75, D-8.5), I booked for two surgeries. After the first surgery, I have 20/20 in the right eye, and 20/25 in the left. And I have another surgery coming up in two weeks.
I chose to have two surgeries because the doctor said since my eye sights are really poor and different, two surgeries will maintain my sights longer and the same for both eyes.
Look for a doctor with low touch-up(re-surgery) rate. The national average for touch-up is about 10%. And I chose the one with 2%. And they will tell you what kind of surgery fits you better. Also they might tell you that you are not fit for surgery as well.
I am glad that I got it done.
