Yeah, I'd like to know about 20/20 vision as well. Are there any hard numbers of how many people achieve perfect vision and how many still need to use glasses (even only for certain situations) after the procedure? I'm not worried about pain, or flaps, or halos, or just having my entire head vaporized by an aberrant laser. I'm worried I'll get the procedure and then still need glasses, so basically all the money down the drain. Even if it significantly improved my vision, it wouldn't be worth it unless I could basically be guaranteed perfect vision.

Then your vision goes black and a noisy laser machine zaps the inside of your eye and you can smell your eye burning. Then the surgeon brushes the eye flap back into place and you still have one more eye left to do. Doesn't seem that bad really. If something isn't painful, it can't be that bad.

Have my eye painlessly operated on by a trained professional is not exactly in the same league. Everyone's different, but for me something is "extremely unpleasant" only when pain is involved.
