I keep putting off deciding on the surgery because there is so much talk about LASIK pain.

I know it varies from person to person, but I’m curious if the first day is the most painful, or if the pain continues until the protective lenses are removed.

Is LASIK pain more like a stinging sensation in the eyes, or is it so uncomfortable that you can't even open them?

I’m also worried about how many days I should take off work.

For those of you who have experienced LASIK pain, realistically, which day was the hardest?
