This new procedure sounds wonderful! I had LASIK in 2002 (I think). It's the best decision I ever made. I do have a little problem with reflective surfaces at night (especially in the rain), but not too bad. DH had the same thing a couple of years later, and has a little more trouble, but I think it's more because of his age-related near-sightedness, which it doesn't correct for.

The people I've talked to who had it done at the cheaper places closer to home had much more difficulty with the recovery. My eye Dr. recommended a guy in Madison, WI, so that was where I went. I think some things are worth paying more for - eyesight is one of them.

It sounds like the recovery time is even better than when I had it, and I didn't have any problems.

My eyes were BAD (started wearing glasses in the 1st grade, contacts in the 6th), and now it's as if nothing was ever wrong. No more HEAVY glasses bouncing on my nose when I run, or siding down my nose when I sweat, no more excruciating pain when dust gets in my eyes with my contacts, no more groping around blindly at the pool, etc.

Good luck!
