Pros:

Cons:
-It took about 2 years before I could see at night without seeing halos around lights.
-I now have chronic dry eyes.
-I can now see floaters in my eyes that I was unable to focus on before.

This is interesting because when I ask about it they say I could get as good as 20/20 and don't recommend it since I see nearly 20/10 with contacts and I hate being only 20/20 with glasses. It is such a difference I didn't know if I would pass the airman's medical since they require you to wear your glasses instead of contacts. I would do it in a heartbeat if I could get better than 20/20.
