Bit of a update for these considering the procedure themselves:
About 2 months on and still not gone blind but I am getting glare from lights such as leds, street lights etc, also still very sensitive to bright lights car headlights can be quite blinding. Trying to sneak a peak at the eclipse the other day was stupid and left me feeling sick and headachey
Started suffering quite badly from dry eyes a couple of weeks after the procedure doesn't help I work in an air-conditioned office and spend alot of time looking at computer screens so tend to be putting in drops every 20 minutes at work to ease the eyes.
Vision for the most part is not 20/20 it's good and much better than before however it takes applying drops to the eyes to get the 20/20 vision. Have a benchmark at work which is a fire exit sign, without drops I can make out there being writing but a couple of drips and it's clear as day for a few minutes. Doctor says this will resolve itself though when the nerve endings that got cut repair a bit more as currently i think it's that my eyes are not sensing they're dry so don't release any tears or something
Have gained a few more eye floaters from the blood around my eyes apparently getting all up in there, a common side effect the doctor neglected to tell me about. For the most part it's not too bothersome and only really noticeable when looking quickly between two white objects such as paper or screens (which is 90% of my work day opps) Again should settle down over time which I have plenty off
Would I recommend? Yes but I advise don't expect even with the LASIK treatment for it to be a 1 week recovery thing and be done like it's advertised as there's quite a bit of working out the niggles afterwards however I am noticing improvements so should hope that this time next year I'm more or less cleared up
