I had the procedure done about a year ago and have had zero problems. I was about in the same boat - nearsighted, and had both eyes corrected for that. I did it during vacation so I had some time for the peepers to settle down before I went back to flying; was out about a week.

Got my AME on board before hand so there wouldn't be any surprises when the next medical came due. He made sure I knew what he'd require for documentation so there were no problems.

Had the usual halo effect at night for a few days, but that goes away as you get used to actually being able see. I still remember the first night landing I made after the procedure; man, those PAPIs looked like lasers and were crystal clear.

I highly recommend it... it's sure great waking up seeing 20/20 and going to sleep that way, too!
