I had the same results.  I was 20/80 when I went in, with astigmatism.  It took about 2 minutes and I came out and was tested the next day at 20/15.  It has been 6-7 years now and never a problem. If I needed it done again I would RUN, not walk to the clinic.

I wore contacts/glasses my entire life that I can remember before having the LASIK at age 45.  Best money I ever spent.  I went to the Barnett-Dulaney Eye Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ and paid for it out of pocket - no insurance but it was worth every penny of the $1700.
