Going on a little over 4 years now. Best thing ever. Had absolutely awful vision beforehand, now at about 20/15 with both eyes.

Surgery part wasn't bad - felt a little ill during the process, but it was over quickly. Could read street signs on the way home which made my wife cry. The goggles were uncomfortable but not bad for the next day or so. Didn't need pills for pain - have had dryness off and on for at times since.

Again, absolutely best thing ever - have done rock climbing, martial arts, swimming, etc - things that were difficult with glasses (ie, they don't fall off your face anymore...)

Good luck - you'll love it...
