LASIK: How long before you see well?

    Hey all :-)

    Had intralase LASIK yesterday at lunch time. Now, 30 hours later, my eyesight is somewhat better but still blurry and text can still be quite distorted. No bad halos or starbursts, just a bit of that as expected, but I'm a little worried at the lack of solid progress towards clear vision. The flap is fine though according to the doctor at today's check up. He said progress rate varies by person, but anyone I know who had it done before had good eyesight after one day.

    I was - 6 so a strong enough prescription. How long did it take for you to have vision you were happy with, fluctuations aside? Did anyone else have to wait a few days? At the moment I still couldn't work.

    Any opinions or experience you've had welcome!
