I had it done about 4-5 years ago and it was/is the single greatest personal decision I've ever made. My vision was terrible before (-8 in one eye, -10 in the other) and it has stayed at 20/20 since. The day of, I had my wife come with me and take care of the trip home. You'll be out of it, so make sure you have assistance. I think most clinics won't even do it unless you have someone else to help you. The surgery was relatively quick and painless. You can see better immediately, but it is still a bit blurry. You'll be out of commission for at least 2 days. No screens, reading etc. Your eyes itch like crazy but you can sleep through it. My recommendation is to grab some audiobooks to listen to as you'll get bored quickly. My night vision was terrible for about 5-6 months after so driving at night was risky. I avoided it for about 3 months until it was at the point that I could see safely. Halos around lights will be distracting for awhile. For pain I was prescribed Ativan. I'm not a pill-person, I typically avoid tylenol, but I thought it would be fun. It was. As I suggested, I grabbed a bunch of audio-books, threw on the funky sunglasses they give you and sat in the park for hours laughing my ass of to John Hodgeman. I'm pretty sure passerby thought I was out of my mind. Possibly one of the best days of my life. ;) Good luck!
