I had Lasek (shaftsbury avenue) on on the 7th of August and today (3 weeks later) I have better than 20/20 vision with non of the side effects that the surgeons said I might get. Least to say that I'm very happy with the end results although I have to say that I wasn't expecting the amount of pain that I went through just after the op to be as much as it was. However this was only for a couple of hours and although the contacts they give you just after the op are uncomfortable they are taken out a few days later. When weighing up the odds its more than worth it.
