Had the procedure carried out last week and the results are perfect.
Great set up at FOCUS - the facilities, staff, equipment and follow ups are all of a very high standard and I never felt pressured in to anything.
My Prescription was around -1 to -1.5 in each eye with astigmatism and the correction went brilliantly. I currently have better than 20/20 vision in each eye.
For what ever reason you want the op - be that sport, driving, swimming, vanity etc. then I can only say go for it and I highly recommend the FOCUS group.
Does it hurt? - No, not really, some pressure when the eye needs to be held in place for the flap to be created - which can be pretty uncomfortable (seems to vary dependant on the persons eyes) but it is completely bearable and only last for 30 seconds on each eye (they count it down).
That is all you feel though - the rest, laser flap and reshaping etc. is painless.
The whole thing takes about 10 mins and you are done .
All in all this and the cost are a small price to pay for great vision that is free from glasses and or contacts for the foreseeable future.
