I had it done specifically so I could keep riding. Distance vision was my concern. I spent 1200 an eye. They tried to up me to 1600 each to use a laser (instead of a knife) to cut the cornea. But I figured (rightly as it turns out) that the surgeon would use whatever was easiest for him either way (which turned out to be the laser.)

I am completely sold. It's restored my riding accuracy and distance judgment. I only regret that they couldn't fix reading without compromising distance acuity.

Anyway, I'm a fan. I highly recommend it.
