It made me

Hassle-free

How I did it: Talked to people who had had it done and asked about their experience : how the operation itself went, their own recuperation time, perceived improvement and the clinic they choose.

Then, visited the two main clinics in my city that were recommended, and made a choice based on the technology used and overall impression of the clinic.

This is how I it went for me. Of course, these will change depending on your own doctor's indications and your personal reaction to the operation;

-Evaluation appointment with a clinic (about 2 hours) :  you meet with many different professionals including an optometrist who will determine whether you are eligible for the operation.

-Actual operation : preparation with a technician (eye drops, cleaning etc. -- 20 min. in my case) + operation (15 min. only)

-Post-operation (these will vary depending on the technology used and of course, your own eyes' reaction towards the operation) :

4 hours of recuperating with protective shells, must close your eyes but blink every 5 min. to keep hydrated (best is to listen to the radio and blink at every song).

2 hours immediately after : no actual pain, fair irritation and teary eyes resulting

4 hours after : only 50 % of discomfort remaining

12 hours after : 10 % remaining

Following days :

a slightly blurry vision and some diminishing halo effects (I don't know if mine will disappear).
