I had the full-laser Lasik 2 years ago for the same reason (miscalculated my FSA). Have not regretted it one bit.
I play soccer on a regular basis (goal keeper) so I had to sit out for a few weeks to be sure I didn't do any damage while healing, but otherwise I could not be happier. Your Dr. will advise you on the proper amount of time to sit out depending on your sport of choice. All I can say is - follow his/her advice. I went from 20/200 to 20/20 in my right eye and 20/80 to 20/10 in my left.

How has it impacted your daily work (looking at screens, keyboards, etc) I'm considering Lasik for my left eye (my right eye is 20/12 uncorrected - I have an astigmatism in my left eye). I've heard great stories, and I've read about not so great experiences. One of my co-workers had Lasik (by the same surgeon who would do my procedure) 8 years ago and claims zero regrets and no long term ill effects. I probably wouldn't do it, because for me it would be a luxury, but I'm positioned to lose up to $2,600 that I have siting in a Flexible Spending Account if it isn't used by March 31 of this year (I checked, and even though the plan was for last 2010, my plan has a grace period that allows for Date of Service until March 31, 2011). The surgeon I'm considering is Karl Stonecipher, who claims having done well over 50,000 procedures. So, any stories, good, bad, or otherwise are welcome. I'm particularly interested in any stories for anyone who is athletically active. Jonathan L.
