I think the painfull one must of stopped by now its horrendous, like having red hot pokers shoved down your eye. Nice!

Omg that sounds awful

No I can assure you they still do it (Lasek)...as I said it hurt like hell for two days and was painful for at least five but, it has worked great for us and in spite of the initial pain it has been worth it. If you have a really high prescription then it would probably only be the Lasik that is suitable as they can correct a much higher prescription by doing it that way. However, there can be drawbacks even with Lasik as I mentioned earlier it is more expensive, less painful but, the flap is not stitched in place and can sometimes detach itself. Also a lot of the services will not employ you if you've had Lasik because of this. Obviously it is not suitable if you intend participating in certain sports because of this risk.
