Default Any compunction?

I'm a 37 years young gentleman, short-sighted about -8 each eye and that means I can't do see or anything without my glasses. I carry this condition for almost half of my life, so now I decided to put my condition and glasses in the box for life and since I dont like contacts so I'm considering LASIK. I already decided having it in a perfect surgeon and clinic for me in my2020.

For people who had it, any compunction? How long did it take after LASIK to be able to do you normal daily activities? Thanks in advance and wish me luck then.

So their is someone else out there that's a blind as me. I'm also around -8, but I wear contacts since I can't stand glasses. I've thought about LASIK, but I haven't gone that route yet. I know of a few people that have had it done and had really good results, but their vision wasn't nearly as bad as ours is.

I wear contacts and glasses. I have heard that Lasik is great, but your vision will deteriorate again over time and you only have one shot at it. If you can wait any longer, there are bound to be marked improvements in this field over the next couple of years.
