    I had surgery approx 10 days ago.
    right eye is as good as when i wore glasses, left eye is just a bit better than driving standard. overall the sight is very good, and it may still improve slightly. if it doesn't i'll still be delighted.
    i've only driven at night once and there were a lot of starburts around car headlihghts, but this is supposed to improve with time. again if it doesn't i can live with it.
    i have large pupils (8mm), thin corneas, and had an average prescription (-4.5, -4), with some astigmatism.
    i had ultralasik plus on both eyes.

    at the consultation i was told i couldn't have lasik on my left eye because of thin corneas. it would mean i could not have a re-treatment if needed. but the surgeon said the opposite on the day of surgery- that i couldn't get a retreatment if i had lasek. i was very happy about this as lasik is much more comfortable/faster healing time, but it was a bit confusing.

    the procedure itself was quite uncomfortable and i'm glad i took a valium. they don't supply these so if your squemish like me get your own. they don't supply painkillers either so its work bringing some for the drive home as it does start to sting a bit after a while. the next day vision was great and improved slightly over the next day or two. my right eye has a red mark still but this is just a bruise and will wear off soon.
    overall i'm delighted i spent the extra money to go with ultralase, if i run into any problems (such as nightvision) i'll post again, if not assume it was a complete success :)
