I had Lasik, in October of 07'. Best $5000 I've ever spent. I was seeing 20/40 immediately after the procedure and was seeing 20/15 the next day at my follow-up eye exam. I can even see, just barely 20/10. No complications at all. One trick a doctor told me to keep my long range vision strong, is to follow the 20/20 rule. If you sit behind a desk for long periods of time, every 20 minutes stare out the window and focus on an object in the distance for 10-20 seconds.
