Anybody had lasik surgery?

My vision is stable, correctable to 20/20, but things like pollen or the
neighbor mowing his yard can bother my contact lenses. Glasses suck and
contacts aren't good for your eyes over time, so my wife is encouraging
lasik. The #1 facility in the region is half a block away from my
workplace and they have a deal with our company which is why I know so
many people who've had it, but I'm still undecided.

Everybody I've known personally who has had it done raves about it, no bad
experiences at all...but none of them fly.

Thoughts?

I had it done in 2003 to cure a "lazy" right eye (It used to be 20/150, now
20/20. The left has been 20/30 since my teens).

For the treatment, I was in at about 9:00AM and out by 11:00. Slight pain
for about two hours, then all was well.
