It is 2 months ago since I had my eyes lasered and the results are nothing short of a miracle. I now have perfect long distance vision and only need 1.25 glasses for prolonged reading. If I go out I don't even take glasses as I can easily cope with menus etc. even in 8 point.
In terms of pain the operation was 2 out of 10 and although uncomfortable it soon passed. The next day in Cambridge whilst waiting for my day +1 check up, I read a newspaper without glasses for the first time for 15 years.
I couldn't recommend the operation more highly, my wife is next on the list!
