I had LASIK in May of 2000 and I have never had any problems.
It was like a miracle to me.

I had mine done in Dec 2005. I had severe corneal edema afterwards and was legally blind for 2 weeks. As the swelling went down, my vision in my left eye slowly improved and is now 20/30. My right eye developed astigmatism from uneven healing and is 20/100. I have to wear a contact lens in that eye or I cannot read or drive at night (ghosting, halos). I had weekly appointments for a month afterwards, and now i see the doctor monthly. i lost alot of time off work, and I am going to have to have it redone next month. After all of this, I personally do not recommend it.

I am totally for the lasik surgery. I had it done back in March of this year and seeing wonderful. The first few weeks were tough but worth every moment of it. It is the best thing I have done for myself
