[Kipper is King]

This is critical IMHO- get one eye done at a time. I do not care what doctor is doing your surgery or what equipment they use. If something goes wrong with both your eyes at once, life becomes quite difficult.

Four years ago, I had PRK done (I can't say which doctor did it, but he wasn't one of the ones mentioned in this thread). Severe corneal haze resulted, which left me legally blind in one eye, and with badly diminished vision in the other. They actually had me on the cornea transplant list for a while.

Only now is my vision starting to become reasonable again (I need glasses still, but life could be worse). My vision will never be as good as it was pre-surgery.

My experience is really rare, so do not freak out, though. Newer technologies have really reduced the risk of complications. Just do not play russian roulette with both your eyes at once. Waiting a couple extra weeks will seem well worth it in the unlikely event something goes wrong. That way, you still could get decent vision out of one eye.
