That sounds very reasonable, I was expecting more.

Did you get much discomfort?

How is your vision now?

Thanks.

The actual procedure was pain free, but it was painful for the few days following - the anesthetic drops really help though. I had just over 2 weeks off work. My vision is still blurry due to hazing but I'm told the procedure has worked to improve the shape of my cornea and my vision should continue to improve...

Can anyone elaborate on how they're managing now quite a few years on! ?
