First of all, being one-eyed and having worn glasses since I was 2 years old I can tell you 1 thing... do your research, do your research, do your research... on the doctor, the machinery he's going to use (when was it calibrated last, how many hours experience does he have using it, etc..) ask for patient referrals to talk with (be wary if they only give you 'successes' to talk with, ask for patient referrals who haven't had such good experiences as well to find out how the doctor dealt with the issues)...

Personally, I would LOVE To have this done but every doctor I've contacted says "No Fucking Way!"... No matter how much confidence they have in their own abilities they simply will not take the risk on screwing up my one 'not so good' eye. Right now with glasses I see at about 20:40... without glasses I'm totally fucked and can't see more than 2 inches from the front of my nose.

The most important issue for many people is the 'halos' at night. There is a very simple way to avoid this problem... Make sure the doctor measures your pupils dialated in as dark a room as is possible. That way, they can get the diameter of the cornea correct and eliminate the halos before they start.

Do your homework and you should be ok... You lucky bastard... I envy you.
