[*]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 just had my 3 month check up today so thought I'd chime in.

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

Not for me. I can see perfectly fine while driving and don't have halos.

[*]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 work with computers all day long and what I was told this morning, is that anything involving computers or reading causes you to not blink. This dries my eyes out and even after 3 months, I'm still using drops. I don't mind, it's progressively getting better.

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

Yes, though I'm glad I don't have to. The process while quick was very uncomfortable.

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

My doctor used a felt pen to mark something on my eyeball. I didn't care for that at all.
