The ophthalmologist that I went to said that some people experience better than 20/20 vision after the surgery. The information that I received from the doctor mentions a clinical trial in which "70% of patients could see better than 20/20" after the surgery. However, the pamphlet does not provide information on how to locate that clinical study. I could not find any hard and fast statistic, but this article mentions in passing that some patients can see better than 20/20 after surgery: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/22772.php http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/22772.php I would say that if glasses have become part of your "brand" and you actually enjoy wearing them, then definitely do not get the procedure. Some of my main motivations for getting the procedure (keep in mind I have not undergone the procedure yet) are: wearing glasses is annoying, glasses get dirty/scratched/bent/etc, contacts are a pain to put in when I wake up, contacts dry out my eyes sometimes, playing sports with glasses is difficult (I snowboard quite a bit; glasses and goggles don't go too well together) so I have to wear contacts.
