Your doctor should have given you a thorough explanation of the procedure and what to expect, but in any case, the procedure itself is very short. Takes about 5 minutes per eye. But prior to that you will spend about an hour in prep time while they examine your eyes one last time and give you drops to dialate the pupils. Once the surgery is done, your vision will be blurry because of the drops, but you will sort of be able to tell that you eyesight is better. They will send you home with medicated drops and sunglasses to protect the eyes. They recommend you sleep for a few hours if possible, or at least rest the eyes. After a few hours, the drops will wear off and you will notice clear vision. You eyes will be a little sore for the next few days and you will likely have burst capillaries in your eyes due to the procedure. Both the soreness and the capillaries will heal in about 1-2 weeks. During that time you will need to take your medicated drops as instructed and avoid letting water hit your eyes, so shower away from the water. You will go back in after a week to get the eyes checked, then again after a month then finally one more time at the 1 year mark.

That's pretty much all I remember about the procedure. Overall it is very quick, painless and easy. I def recommend it to all my friends who are thinking of doing it.
