I had LASIK done in March. I was seeing 20/15 within 24 hours of the procedure. The procedure itself took maybe six minutes from walking into the room and walking out. I had zero pain, all I had to do was stare at a dot at each machine. The first machine cuts open your cornea to peel it back. This took 18 seconds per eye. I was then taken to another machine which then reshaped the cornea and this took 10 seconds per eye. I was given a tylenol PM, sent home and I slept probably 16 hours total. I've had no complications and the Dr. said my eyes are healing just fine. His staff even filled out my FAA form and faxed it in for me. I just have to use eye drops in the mornings to wake my eyes up and I'm seeing clearly! 10/10 would recommend.
