I got the procedure done on 2/28 in the morning and by around 5pm I could see everything clear. Procedure was 10-15 minutes if that , super easy and fast. The recovery was extremely uncomfortable because your eyes are sandy and very irritated . They tell you to go to sleep for 4-5 hours during that time which is definitely a necessity. I personally take a long time to fall asleep so that was my only struggle . I was able to get the procedure on a huge discount , therefore it was very affordable for what you are asking . Contacts and glasses are expensive and have to be replaced or reordered every 6 months to a year so this was definitely a long term money saver. If you have dry eyes or have a bad pain tolerance, do not recommend. Otherwise , the staff talked me through everything and constantly provided me information. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! #YAYICANSEE
