I have been wearing glasses for over 40 years and my prescription was getting pretty strong. I also suffered a little bit of blurred vision in one eye so CLE was suggested. The operation was fine and I was well looked after. The only problem was that there was a delay of a couple of hours each time. Like I said, the operation went well and it did not hurt any much more than giving blood. The nurses and surgeon were very nice and put me at case. Now I have very good long distance vision but due to my age so I now require reading glasses but I was told that would be the case at my initial consultation.
