My husband had it done about 3 years ago and while he was nervous the day of his surgery every thing went perfectly. H e actually had a different procedure due to the fact that he has large pupils. I guess your pupils have to be in a certain measurement and his were just too big, so he waited and had what his doctor called "In-tacts". They are very, very tiny half circles that are placed above and below each pupil to help resize the pupil. They procedure is done the same was a Lasik eye surgery. To date he has not had any problems and has 20/20 vision again.
His mom had Lasik done a year after him and she was legally blind without her glasses. She did end up having to have 2 surgeries to correct her vision but she now has 20/30 vision and she is so happy that she had it done.
I have to say it took only 10 minutes from the time my husband went in to the time he came out of the procedure room. After that it was about 30 minutes before they released him.
He said that the part of the procedure that bothered him the most was the knowing that they are doing something to your eyes. It was not the procedure itself BUT the THOUGHT in his mind about what they were doing.
I wish you the best of luck in your decision and just make sure that you have a reputable doctor doing the procedure.....ask for references, talk to some of his/her patients and ask them what they thought of the procedure and what they think of it now.....always do your homework when it comes to your health.
