If you're lucky and all goes 100% according to plan, you may have 8-12 years worth for your money, but WILL have trouble at night, so no night flying. After this your refractive error will shift again, and you will need glasses again, only this time they won't work as well.
This procedure is NOT for pilots. It is for housewifes, models, 20- and 30-something girls with vanity issues and the like, NOT for anyone who needs critical vision.
What you talkin about??
You are out of way, even if you are "inside" as you said.
Perhaps it was as you say 20 years ago!
I done RPK 10 years ago, I still have 10/10, no glare, no problem at the night, i fly often at night, at day, with sun, fog, bad wheather, vfr IFR...no problem at all and I have 1 class FAA cpl/twin/IR.
So STOP your terror and uncorrect informations please. If everyone did the laser surgery, the sales of glasses will be stop so is due that many people "inside profession" say "don't do laser" (if not I can not sell glasses and contact lenses).
