My visions still a bit blurred but apparently thats to be expected at this stage as my cornea is still healing. It's a great feeling to be able to see without having my vision framed by glasses (I couldn't tolerate contacts).
Anyone else had it done?

Do you mind if I ask how old you are? the reason I ask is that I'm 37 and when I went for a consultation a few years ago they told me that I'd probably need glasses in a few years anyway, so I thought what the point. Would be great to have 20-20 though so it's quite tempting but I'm paranoid about the no touching the eyes thing.

Im 33. They told that I will become long-sighted aged 40-45 (as will everyone apparently), and that will require reading glasses, but my vision was very poor, very short-sighted, so I think the benefits still justified the cost.

Fivecups what was your presciption for your bins if you don't mind me asking , mine is +8 in both eyes and i always thought my eyesight was to bad to get this laser business. Also i reckon it would cost a fortune for my eyes. I have to pay a shedload as it is for my bins ,to get them as thin as possible .

I heard a discussion on the radio the other day about a woman here in London who lost virtually all her vision due to an incompetent procedure.
A year later her vision is slowly returning after treatment by a top surgeon, it will however never return to what it was before she had laser surgery.
