Te pro's greatly out weight the con's. The morning after I had my eyes done I went outside and I could read the street sign 1 1/2 blocks away. No more bending over and glasses falling off, no more punching myself in the nose to push my glasses back to where they belong (I will say, out of habit, I did do that for a few weeks even I did not have glasses on). I had my eyes done for distance only but it worked out I did not need glasses, period. 14 years later I am using reading glasses but only in a darker room. The only draw back is that I do have a halo at night around lights and the moon. I do not notice it anymore except when looking at the moon. I would, with out a doubt, do it again. Was worth every penny I spent. 5 out of 5 stars.
