I had lasik 4 weeks ago. At my 2-week follow I "scored" 20/20 and 20/35. My vision would occasionally fluctuate, but all in all I could see pretty well with both eyes. A few days later I went to the DMV to remove restrictions from my license, but I failed the test because I couldn't see any letter with my right eye. Now it's been 10 days since I went to the DMV, my right eye has not improved and is blurry. Near (reading) and mid-range (walking) vision is good with both eyes, but I can't drive.

I personally had a small prescription and elected to have LASIK because I did not want to wear glasses. As long as you want better uncorrected vision and are a good candidate, LASIK seems reasonable to me.
