I had it done just over 2 weeks ago. Pros are getting rid of the glasses and contacts, and going from a very strong prescription (-9.5 in one eye, -8.75 in the other) to 20/20.

2 weeks out, I am finding that my eyes are still tiring fairly quickly, and it can be an effort to focus at times (esp. late in the day). I am also getting some halos at night likely related to the above.

Overall, it's been a good thing for me, and I am hopeful that the minor inconveniences will go away (they have been getting better/less frequent).

I had LASIK about 7 years ago - after 25+ years of glasses. No more astigmatism, no more sparring blind, no prescription glasses, no prescription sunglasses... I love it! But you do need to carefully investigate which type of laser eye surgery is appropriate for you - they're not all the same, and different types work better for different people.
