I had mine done 5 years ago and still see 20/15 in my right eye. My surgeon was one of just a handful doing the FDA approval for WaveFront eye mapping. Evidently it worked well enough to allow him to do a subtle mono vision enhancement for each eye. My right eye, being my dominant eye, was corrected for sharpness from armslength to (theoretically) infinity. My left was corrected for sharpness close-up out to about 300 feet. He did this to hold the need for reading glasses. Since I was 38 at the time and approaching the age where presbyopia would start to set in, I'd say it was a good call. The dual corrections compliment each other and there is seamless transition from close-up to long distance. Regular checks show no changes and everything is just fine. No dry-eye, no halos, and great night vision. I'm happy I did it and glad my surgeon was so attentive and innovative.

I had mine done in January 1999. I have to say it was one of the best decisions I ever made. N

Had mine done last Feb. Still have dry eye problems and have gone back for the problem. They say it will get better. I use drops they provided me.
Even though I can't see as well as I would like I still preferr this over glasses. I do have to wear reading glasses.
Hopefully over time my eyes will tear on their own and I will have 20/20.

Any dry eye problems? I had my proceure done in 1999 and again in 2000 and still have dry eye problems today.

No, not yet, but I am still in the first week and doing the prescribed antibiotic, prednisone, and lubricant drops every 6 hours. I wore contacts for 25 years, and rarely had dry eye issues, even if I fell asleep with them in, so I'm hoping this will be good too. So far, no issues, and better vision than with contacts.

no problems.
