Would you have cosmetic surgery?

Bullitt--you're completely awake for the surgery, and literally the moment they stand you up out of the chair things are much, much clearer. But then they don't want you to blink for a good long while, so they give you some hardcore sedatives so that you'll just sleep for a good 10-12 hours. When you wake up, your eyes will itch and burn, but not unbearably, and your vision will be almost up-to-speed by then, although still very very light sensitive. The only reason you wouldn't be able to go to work or classes or whatever at that point is because you feel like crap, not because you can't see.

You have to take a pantheon of eyedrops for the first few days, and then it tapers off over the next few weeks. I had mine done less than a week before the semester started, and I had no problems.

Sounds tolerable. A few days of discomfort instead of the rest of my life dealing with contact lenses sliding up on top of my eye that take 5 minutes to get out... ughh. Worst way ever to start the day.
