My husband and I both had Lasik surgery about 5 years ago. We had excellent results as well.

Our doctor has free tune-ups should we decide to go through it again. While it was quite simple I don't know if I could go through it again.

I am a big baby and even though there was ZERO pain, the knowledge of what they are doing sends me over the edge. The 1/2 valium they gave me wasn't enough to keep me really chilled. It took the edge off but I could have used the other half.

We have both - hust recently - had to buy "cheater" reading glasses but that is very minor.

I had the monovision treatment done.

It worked great, except that I now have a slight reliance on reading glasses (but would’ve needed them eventually anyway).

How has it been? I’ve heard that people who’ve undergone this operation tend to see artifacts around bright objects like lightbulbs.

I’m not confident about the skills of a surgeon being able to shape and gloss the eye’s cornea to what it would be, naturally.
