I had astigmatism in both eyes, mild in one and worse in the other, can't remember the values but the worse eye was close to the limit from memory (for the time 7 years ago) had both done at the same time.
A work colleague had it done about 5 years earlier (in Sydney) than that and he had one done at a time, but no major complications (about -3 for short shortsightedness, I was -6.5 and -7.0 with 1.75?? astigmatism from memory). I had Lasik done and was snow skiing in Queenstown 2 weeks later. Other things I remember were the buzz sound of the cornea being cut, a but of a smell as the lazer was working, (maybe that was psychological) the pressing of the eye during set up. Being able to see clearly, blurred, clearly as the eye was washed and checked. After the surgery next few days I had alot of sleep (crusty bits) stick in my eye lashes, no real problem with that. Having the dry eyes, and ripping of the cornea was very painful, and when this happened to took a few days to settle down again, the sound of PRK makes my eyes water. The halo effect was very evident for the first year, but I have always had this, and this has improved markedly over the last few years.

When you say 'did both at the same time' do you mean:
1. They zapped both eyes at the same time? or 2. Zapped one eye, checked that you could still see and then zapped the other eye? Option 2 is what I meant by they don't do both eyes at the same time (they do them at the same appointment though). But most of my research was in the early days of this stuff. Also, how long is it meant to last for?

Got a reply direct from Perth Lazer Vision :-)
"Hi Mitch, The equipment that we use for the LASIK flap does not "cut" as such. The Femtosecond forms a tiny bubble layer under the cornea and then a blunt instrument gently lifts the flap. Older technology did use a blade, but the new method does not. Some patients do choose PRK and it is a valid choice. It is more uncomfortable post surgery, but you are given pain relief. I would recommend the LASIK procedure using the Femtosecond to form the flap. This flap is less than a human hair in thickness and bonds back again very easily.

It was one after the other in the same "sitting", lying down, no real checks that I could see until the next day. It was do one, change to the next eye, and off we go again with the new settings for that eye. To be honest, I'm glad it was not separated by even an hour. It was a bit unnerving with the eye being "clawed open" clock work orange style, and the weight of the machine and the clamping of your head in place. (done for really good and obvious reasons) It wasn't painful, just a bit freeky. My wife who watched it in the observing room said that the eye looked like jelly when it was opened up. I had it done when I was about 34, and I'm now 41, and in the last month I've noticed one eye is not as clear as it has been over the past years, but still fine in good light, and still able to read comfortably with it. As I was short sighted, I am still likely to suffer with long sightedness as most of the population does as the age, but from very short sighted, unable to get off the counter lenses, they were always special order and took at least a week to make. The best thing was no longer requiring corrective lenses to drive, and getting out of the habit of reaching for your glasses in the morning when you wake up it was worth doing for me.

One eye at a time but in the same sitting
If it goes well, you'll get pretty good vision within the hr or two (for me anyway) Graham Furness runs the Laser Eye Surgery in Subi Centro - some of you will know him 1st visit is free, where they will check if your eyes are suitable for laser eye surgery and 2nd visit, they will check which type is suitable reckon this is one of the best surgery - you can play sports with no issues with contact lenses, no worried about glasses |

I went to Lions Eye Institute to correct short sightedness & astigmatism - had the surgery done on a Thursday arvo @ 3pm (both eyes) - went back the following morning @ 7am for a check-up. Caught the train home & watched TV that afternoon.
Wish I had done it 15 years ago.

Peeps with astigmatism, how much did you pay for your treatment?
