I was nervous before getting it done..I was thinking that maybe I shouldve done one eye at a time, just in case something went wrong. However, it's been an extremely positive experience. The only downside is that my eyes sometimes feel dry if Ive been online for a while or if Im watching tv and it's been a few hours. Otherwise, it's awesome. I can't believe its so CHEAP in Canada!!!!!!!! I wish I did it there....my parents live there, I shouldve flown up, gotten it done, and come back. The recovery period isn't very long.....most people are able to drive again in 1-2 days! I was fine the next day.
Both my friend and my mom couldn't drive for atleast 3 days. In between the pain due to the sensitivity of the eyes and putting in the drops...driving was the last thing on there minds.

Maybe it's a more painful experience depending on how bad your vision is.
