well, I had LASIK 1 month ago. All I can say is WOW, what a fantasic result I now have 20:20 vision for the first time in my life. The procedure was simple, pain free and quick with the only side effect being my nerves !! Afterwards I could see the results straight away. Some discomfort for 4/5 hours afterwards (similar to the sort of feeling you get when chopping onions). Highly recommended, just like having a magic wand waved over you !! really.
