Know several people who got it done. For most it seems to have gone smoothly, but my mate's wife had it done about a year ago and unfortunately had awful trouble afterwards. Her eyes felt like they were burning for week/months on end after the op. They eventually got it sorted but it was an awful lot of pain and irritation to get there. I certainly wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Got my own eyes tested recently as I need to wear glasses for driving, TV, gigs etc. and recently lost my glasses so needed a new pair. While I was getting the test I asked the optician about the pros and cons of laser treatment and one of the things he said was that if your prescription is relatively low (i.e. -1 in both eyes for myself) that your close range vision - for reading etc. - will more than likely remain good until you are maybe 50 or 60 - whereas if you get the laser treatment done it will improve your long-range sight for possibly 10, maybe 20 years, but that it will speed up the need for reading glasses - so that you might need them by the time you're 40, rather than 50 or 60. I know after hearing that I was pretty happy to just stick to my glasses for when I need them, and maybe try out contact lenses which I have avoided thus far.
