Have you had it done? I would love to get mine lasered but am too chicken.
Yup. I had the old version done, which I was told was more painful, but better, and significantly cheaper. There is now a newer version, which apparently is more a matter of discomfort. The version I had hurt like hell: I mean, serious agony from the time the painkiller wore off for about the next 12 hours, then gradually becoming less (tho' still very) painful over the next couple of days, but then that was that. 20/20 vision. Lovely jubbly.
I'd been dilly dallying for ages, but did some googling about and found a report on an academic study of something like 600 people who'd had it done 15 or more years ago, and had been asked two questions: Do you regret having had it done? and Would you recommend it to a friend. Every single one of the respondents said No to the first question and Yes to the second. And I thought, hmmm, I thought...those are pretty persuasive numbers.
