I had it done in December of last year. I was near-sighted. I had the surgery done and now I'm not so sure. I can't see as clearly as I did with my glasses on (but so much better than when I didn't have them on!). The optometrist at the Clinic said I had a "blurry" 20/20 - that I have perfect vision, but it appears blurry, which I think is a load of hooie. They say my eyes are good and that they can't/ won't do anything to correct it, and suggested I get a pair of glasses. When I am driving, I cannot read roadsigns unless I squint badly or wait until they're at that "going by you" distance. And nightime vision - especially driving - isn't great, but that I was actually expecting. I have a one year appointment coming up, and my eyes have not improved, so it should be interesting.

Last year i went for laser eye surgery last year and it was, to date, the best money i've ever spent.
When i went for my tests, they did a scan of my eyes to get it's topography readings. As it turned out, my cornea was too thin for the LasiK procedure (the most common practice thesedays). I had to wait about a month while my doctor consulted his colleagues on whether he could still do the procedure.
LasiK wasn't an option for me, but after my doc did a lot of communication with other doctors, he found that an older technique called PRK was a viable option. He found out about patients with similar cornea conditions who underwent that procedure, how they were doing 3 months after the surgery, 1 year after the surgery, etc.
I took the plunge in July 2005 and haven't regretted it in the least. The fact that you have to accept is that the results will not last forever; they do not prevent the natural aging process. I fully accept that my eyes will get weaker again in about 15 years, but i'm fine with it cos i'll just go for surgery again, haha. LasiK and PRK are slightly different technique and the recovery times differ, but at the end of the day, the risks and results are the same.

Laser eye Surgery and Dental Surgery is very safe nowadays.It is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges Eye surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.
I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as obesity surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your eye surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
My cousin got her Eye surgery &Dental Surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results.She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.hope this helps

My sister had it about a year ago & hasn't experienced any problems. I think they're just starting to see the long term effects of it.
