# Has anyone here had laser eye surgery done?
I had this done about a month ago.
# Do they see as well as they did with glasses?
I can see better than when i had glasses.
# Does it hurt (before/during/after)?
Not hurt but for the hours after the operation your eyes will water alot and you will be light sensitive (I couldn't keep mine open for long). Just go home and sleep and it goes away.
# I've been told it messes with your night driving, is that the case?
Not for me but I was told it can by my Surgeon.
# 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?)
Not that I noticed, you'll need tear drops for a while afterwards anyway.
# Having done it, would you still choose to do it over again?
Yes
# Is there anything bizarre (like your eyes falling out) that I should know about?
They'll give you a disclaimer listing everything that can go wrong (including ruining your vision) but complications are very rare.

I also had an astigmatism that would have diquailfied me years ago but not now, they need to scan your eyes to tell.
I don't know where you live but most places where I am offer a free consultation with no strings attached. I paid around €2500 some of which I can get back.
