Pillbug
I went for the custom wavefront in February of this year.

First the good news: Pretty much immediately after the surgery I was seeing 20/15, and my vision has remained at this level for the past 6 months. No halos at night, perfect, quick recovery.

The bad news: The surgery itself was a soul-crushing experience for me. The doctor didn't explain what to expect, and I broke out in a cold sweat about a minute in. Although there was no pain, I could still feel the slicing of the outer layer of my eye when they peeled it away at the start. The whole time I was worried I would do something wrong and end up blind and I had to grip the sides of my table as tight as I could to hold still, because I started shaking something awful.

No one else I've spoken to had as bad a time with the surgery, and the doctor refused to include my trip report in the binder that sits in his waiting room.

Am I happy with my results? Yes.

If I had to make the choice would I do it again? No.
