Mine were done several years ago, two weeks apart. I was not totally out during the surgery and could hear what they were talking about, like baseball. At one point, the doc asked me to look up which I did. I didn't feel a thing but could see all sorts of odd shapes and colors for a brief spell.

During post op, I was blown away by the difference between my bad eye and new one. Had I known how bad my eyes really were, the surgery would have happened sooner. The difference in colors was stunning, in addition to amazing clarity. My vision was worse than I realized. After being apprehensive going in, I wanted the second eye done asap. I still stop to appreciate my new vision, even after 3 and 1/2 years.

The rings around oncoming headlights at night haven't bothered me but I was seeing a line through street lights which as others have mentioned, the doc eventually zapped out in his office. I had to ask him if he had done the zapping yet since I didn't feel anything while he was looking at my eyes with the machine. I'm fortunate that my results have been excellent.
