My buddy got it done last summer and he loves it. He had terrible eye sight with a bad astigmatism. He said it was like a 20 min in and out operation then he was ordered to keep his eyes shut and go to sleep for about 4 hours. He said he woke up with 20-20 vision and no complications. Yea Like NJ/PAbwhunter said, make sure u get a reputable and good doctor.
