I want to do the same thing… I did the math and it will save me a lot of $$ over time with not having to get contacts or glasses. Just need the upfront money! Also, totally freaked out at the thought of smelling my own eyeballs burning.

I had to bail on this post. I get squeamish when it come to the eyes. Yikes! But those Terminator plastic glasses are badass. That photo next to “Pregame” is a total nerdscan pic.

OK, so I heeded your warning and I didn't read the whole post. But I would like to point out that you look like a total badass in the first picture with those “shades.”

Woot for being able to see!

I forgot this part… I went with the commitment for life (http://www.2020institute.com/commitment.htm) which is pretty cool… if it gets fuzzy, they'll fix it!

I had that blind bit too, but it was really brief, and to be honest, I'd rather if I was blind the whole time – seeing those utensils coming at me was not that awesome.

I had it done years ago – got to 20/15. But when they suctioned on me – I totally went blind. That's the part that freaked me out. Although from your description – I think seeing shit come at me would be worse – so I'm kind of glad they took that option away from me.
The only bad part is that you can still need glasses down the road… I have a pair with a VERY minimal prescription and it's mostly for nighttime driving or when my eyes are really tired from staring at a computer screen all day. Either way — Congrats and I agree — it IS totally worth it!!
