prk, lasik laser eye surgery?

can you tell me your personal experiences with eye surgery, did it or did it not work, also state if it was prk or lasik

had lasik for high astigmatism (5 diopters!) in march of ’07. it worked awesome. I’m super happy. with so much astigmatism I could not have “intralase” where the flap is made wioth a laser…I had to have “traditional” lasik with a microkeratome (circular blade makes the flap). it kind of hurt (really just REALLY uncomfortable) for about 20 secs while they made the flap. intralase is what most people have b/c they’re not trying to get rid of so much astigmatism, and intralase is not as uncomfortable.

i no longer wear expensive, uncomfortable, custom-made toric contacts, i dont wear glasses either. i am not 20/20, however…i’m only 20/25. which is certainly good enough for me. its about 95% better than my uncorrected vision before the procedure.
