I had astigmatism and was near sighted and I had Lasik (PRK) 3 years ago with a 5 day recovery time. With the PRK it took 8 minutes per eye then I sat up and he asked me what time is it, to read the clock across the room. If you decide to have the procedure, pay the extra for lifetime enhancements. I had mine done at Lasik Plus and at the time it was $2500 total with the lifetime enhancements. Most places will offer a free consult to make sure you are a candidate. Non-PRK the recovery time is less and in most cases you can go back to work the next day. I scheduled mine on a Wednesday so I had the weekend and took less leave from work.
Good Luck
