My wife and I both had lasik done around 10 years ago. My eyesight was 20/300 and hers wasn't much better. Neither of us has had any issues whatsoever. I'm a programmer and she works in an office with accounting software. We were around 40 at the time.
At one time, I worked on medical computers for eye surgery and witnessed several myself. This type is painless. Why anyone could not watch TV or use a computer for a month, I don't know. Mine was done on a Friday morning and I was back at the screen Monday morning.
Both our vision is still 20/20 though we both are getting farsighted as a result of age, not the surgery. We do not use drops for any reason.
Lasik does NOT correct farsightedness though I was once told this can be done now, I haven't looked into it.
