I had lasik about 6 years ago, it works really well.
was just like going to the dentists, pop in for a consultation, then go in a week later for a quick sit in a dentists chair and a big fancy machine comes in and fafs with your eyes for a min. And your all done.
all to do then is get home go sleep ( because you cant open your eyes that day it feels like arc eye )
in the morning wake up perfect vision, you normaly get given eye drops for the next few weeks.
i did see adverts for permanent lens replacement which looks more promising if your looking at a long term fix though.
