I didn't read much of the thread so sorry if its redundant...


But these are some of the things I've heard about it...I'm also looking to get it done.

I heard that after the surgery is done it can take up to like 3 - 4 months for your vision to actually correct...like your vision is constantly ironing itself out for a few weeks or months afterwards. The girl I knew who had it done complained of frequent headaches during this time.

She also went to British Columbia somewhere to get it done...apparently it was cheaper...I dunno if she skimped on a doctor or if she just found the rates to be lower there...Don't go to mexico though.

Its not permanent...remember when you were a kid and your eyes were growing, if you were like me you got your glasses and they'd slowly turn to shit and you have to go get a stronger perscription, which would eventually turn to shit and so on. Now as you've gotten older its kinda leveled out.

Well I hear its not permanent and it'll only last a few years...like maybe 10 if you're lucky...and you vision will slowly start to degrade again. Although I also heard that for much of that time your vision is better than 20/20...so that's cool...kinda like a mild super power er sumpthin.

The girl I know who had it done said she was stoked on it. She said the initial downtime was minimal although I'd see her wearing sunglasses indoors alot after the surgery so light sensitivity may have been high.

I'm curious about what staring at a monitor 40 hours a week tosses into the equation?
