well its not my personal experience but my hubby had it done almost two years ago

he had to use glasses because without them he would see blurs all the way he had astigmatism and .............i cant remember the other one, sorry, anyway he had it done because he just had had it with them and because of the baby he wanted to be able to play with him without being worrying about the glasses and such.

he also reads a lot since hes a Judge and has been feeling tired a bit but, hes been doing great since he is able to see without them he sees fine, but hes getting a tired sight because of the reading, but still sees good and dont needs glasses, i think its worth it if you feel better even if its for two years, but you can keep it for a lifetime.........
and cost it was around 1,200 i believe for both eyes, but it was done here in mexico so it may vary
