I've worn glasses for years and I'm pretty profoundly nearsighted (something like 20/200 uncorrected, although it corrects to something near 20/20). I tried to try contacts but I can't get used to touching my eyes. So, logically, the best thing to do is have lasers shot at them, right?

My questions:

• Has anyone here had laser eye surgery done?
  
• Do they see as well as they did with glasses?
  
• Does it hurt (before/during/after)?
  
• I've been told it messes with your night driving, is that the case?
  
• 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?)
  
• Having done it, would you still choose to do it over again?
  
• Is there anything bizarre (like your eyes falling out) that I should know about?
  

Mods, if this belongs in The Goon Doctor (or anywhere else for that matter) just let me know and I'll lock it.
