i felt the same way before i had the surgery...i got it about 2.5 years ago and went from 20/1200 to 20/15 in 7 hours....the thing is, you cant see anything, at least not with the technique they used at my surgical center...the thing that they put over your eye to hold it open has an inflatable cuff that presses down against the edge of your eye and overloads your optic nerve, so your vision blacks out to everything except the red dot of the laser that you are supposed to be focusing on...the whole thing took 45 seconds per eye, and when it was over, i had a bit of dull pain somewhat like having been punched in the eye on one side, but that went away in about 30 minutes.

best 2k ever spent, and my vision is still perfect. (32 YO)
