  I was only sensitive to light immediately after the operation, it went within a week. I was nervous about the operation too, but I can easily say that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made, no regrets whatsoever.

  This was my experience (had LASIK in '06): On the day of the surgery, it is enough to make you crawl into a closed room and shun all light. On the couple of days after, it's uncomfortable to look at a computer monitor. On the first few weeks you'll never forget your sunglasses at home. After six months, I'd say it is nearly normal. It is difficult to say. I used to never ever need to wear sunglasses, even in the Portuguese summer. Now, I find them comfortable on very bright days -- not that I can't do without, it's just comfortable. Might be psychological, might indeed be somewhat increased sensitivity to sunlight. I was on the fence for four or five years, until I decided to go at it. Best 3000€ I ever spent.
