I was one of the first people to get this done in the UK. Had it done at Morefields, reduced rate as it was part of a study, £500 per eye I think. 15 years on no problems expect slight halo effect around street lights at night.
It hurt like hell for two weeks and then I hated the sun for a year and had to wear dark sunnies on bright days, I still wear glasses for driving to give 20/20, wonder if it was really worth it. I hear the new wavefront thing is excellent.
Will never forget the smell of my own burning eyeball like hair burning and the nurse stroking my hand as the redeye cuts away - never again, no ta.
