I totally disagree that it is a bad thing.
I had mine done in 2004 on a Friday and by Saturday lunch time I had perfect vision with very little recovery time. My follow on appointment showed I had 20/20 vision and I have never looked back. My eyes were pretty bad and wore contact lens all day. The worse thing I used to find was that I couldn't see the clock at night/morning without reaching for my glasses. I used to find it fascinating that I could see so clearly from the moment I woke up.
Best thing I ever did!!
