I had the surgery in 2010, I'd recommend you choose a reputable company and go for a free consultation to find out what they can do for you, as there are many options. As the surgery types vary and therefore the aftercare, effects from the surgery and healing times etc. also vary, I can only speak from my own experience. The surgery itself was quick, painless (until the anaesthetic wore off!) and not as bad as I expected it to be. I also was given a lifetime guarantee so I can go back for more free of charge, which I am thinking of doing soon as the sight in one of my eyes is not quite as clear as in the other. I'd definitely say go for it to anyone who is eligible
