[*]Has anyone here had laser eye surgery done?

Yes, I had LASIK about 3 years ago when I was 19

[*]Do they see as well as they did with glasses?

I went from 20/200 and 20/300 to 20/15 in both eyes, I also had astigmatism in both eyes.

[*]Does it hurt (before/during/after)?

I experienced some soreness for a day or so, and the setup itself was uncomfortable

[*]I've been told it messes with your night driving, is that the case?

Not in my experience

[*]Does it make working with a computer more difficult? (Using contacts slows down your blink rate which can cause dryness when working at a computer, did this happen to anyone?)

I have always had dryer eyes, so I'm not sure if LASIK made that problem worse, but my I do get dry eyes/redness after looking at a computer for a while.

[*] Having done it, would you still choose to do it over again?

Yes a million times.

[*] Is there anything bizarre (like your eyes falling out) that I should know about?

During the procedure, the laser makes a burning hair smell.
