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

3 days? Really? Here, the doctor said a lot of the patients are even able to drive themselves back to the followup appointment scheduled the day after.

My vision was HORRIBLE... - 11 in one eye and -12 in the other eye, almost legally blind. That's one of the main reasons I got it done, I was afraid that they wouldnt be able to make regular contacts and I'd have to fork up the dough to get custom made contacts.

I have to say though...it didn't hurt at all during the procedure, but they force your eyelids open and you can see an instrument coming towards your eyes. Human instinct is to blink, and since you can't, it feels wierd. It didnt hurt at all though.
