I had it in one eye, and after a some eye-1 vs eye-2 comparisons, I never had the second one done.
Now many years afterwards, the only thing I see clearly is that I should never have gotten the surgery.
Both eyes continued to have changes in prescription, and I now wear contacts in both eyes.
By the numbers, it would seem like I have pretty good vision. Corrected I have 20/20 in my non-surgery eye and 20/25 in the eye that had the surgery.
HOWEVER - the non-surgery eye focuses quickly and accurately, even in low light and at night. The surgery eye can read the eyechart as well, but it takes longer, I have to blink and wait and maybe... eventually... I can read the 20/25 line. At night, I get visual artifacts.
I recommend good contacts instead. Your vision will change and you can just get different contacts.
Additionally, contact lenses have advanced. They can now correct almost any level of vision including astigmatism and can be thrown away monthly or even more frequently.
