I had it done a little over a month ago.

I had a astigmatism and had to get a procedure called PLK done which takes a bit longer to heal.

With regular Lasik they usually use a machine to cut a round flap of your cornea, fold it back, apply the laser treatment and then fold the flap back over. You usually will see 20/20 within 24 hours.

With PLK they scrape off a few layers of your cornea and then apply the laser treatment and it takes a month or so to heal. The first 2 weeks really sucked! Anyone I spoke to on icq right afterwards had to put up with my 40pt font sizes lol

I'm glad I had it done though
