I had pretty bad vision, like 20/600 range in both eyes. I had it a year ago and consider it the best $3200 I ever spent. I just had my one year appointment today and the doc said my eyes look great, 20/15 in both of them, no dryness or defects of any kind. Just typical residual from the surgery.
Do your research, find a doc that has lots of experience, a good rep, and a great track record.
If your eyes aren't that bad, I would question it. I can fully understand someone getting it with vision as bad as mine was. If all you need is glasses for driving/reading, I would say take a pass. It's quite likely I will need reading glasses in 10 years anyways, but I'm fine with that. There's a huge difference between not recognizing someone standing 5 feet away and needing to slide on some specs when driving or reading.
I did both eyes at once, which I think was rash. I'd suggest doing one at a time if you can arrange it.
As for how long I was laid up, less than a day. Immediately following the procedure I could see the doc's face, though my eyes were obviously sensative and everything was still inconsistant and blurry. I went back to the motel (which was on the same block) took some meds, ate a sandwhich, and went to sleep for a couple hours. When I woke up my eyes were still sensative but I could watch TV. By the next morning I had 20/20 and drove the 60 miles back home.
Incidentally, my brother and his wife both had theirs done about a month or so ago and they were thrilled with the results.
