Answers:
Both brothers had it done and it's been over 7 years for each, at age 25!. The immediate side effect is dry eyes which got better them over time!.

they had very strong Rx lenses and they were at least 1/4 inch thick!. Now the one just wears reading glasses as needed, and the other doesn't use anything!.

I've heard the worst side effect are sunbursts!. My brothers never got these!.

I personally need EXCELLENT sight for my line of work and was told by the opthamologist that he couldn't guarantee it!. So I opted out!. Contacts work fine for me and when that doesn't work, I'll go to glasses!. I personally wouldn't do it because of my line of work but again, my brothers had great results!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
