Is that 10 minutes for both eyes?
2 comments

I had one as well this year and while the procedure takes 10 minutes for both eyes, the actual shining of a laser into your eye took about 30 sec per eye. The rest was getting you ready, getting a temporary healing contact lens in, etc.

I opted for TransPRK, took about a week to get back into my previous state, then in two weeks everything was crystal clear.

Best thing ever

Yep. She had both eyes done.

Edit: it really is one of those things where you kick yourself for not having done earlier. It seems much more scary than it actually is.
