I've had laser surgery and it did NOT end up how I expected. I happen to be a special case -- I had only one eye done at a time. After the first eye was done, I had bad vision and it was really bad at night. I remember looking at a turn signal on a traffic light and seeing three copies of the image. My eye doctor told me I had 20/20 vision. Hah. I could easily see that the eye I didn't have surgery with had significantly better vision and more immediate focus with a contact lens that the surgery eye did. I went back to contact lenses and have never been happier. I have to take them out and put them in, but I'm way happier with them. (barring that the one eye will never be as good as the eye without surgery) Look, they're your eyes. Lucky I have some redundancy.
