Expectations and experiences regarding visual changes after LASIK surgery

I am currently considering LASIK surgery. I am curious to know how you felt about the visual changes after the surgery and during the recovery period. In particular, I would appreciate it if you could share details about the process of returning to daily life, the pain and discomfort you experienced, and the reactions of those around you. I would also like to hear about how to care for my eye health after the surgery.
