The surgery was very quick and painless, nurses and surgen were friendly and reasuring. My eyes healed rapidly, the results are wonderful. I think to sum up why to have laser eye i would say the joys are....not having steamed up glasses when its raining outside, to be able to go swimming and see clearly, to be able to read the shampoo bottle in the shower, apply my makeup easily, no ache round the ears or red marks on my nose, no fuss of contact lenses and poking myself in the eye . The only down side is that eyes get tired unlike glasses or contact lenses so sometimes dry or tired eyes can cause blurred vision.
