    My wife had it because she is a swimming teacher and had a hard time using glasses or contacts in the swimming pool. Here in Portugal you can do it for free in the public hospital, just have to wait around 6 to 12 months. The procedure itself isn't very hard or long. The postoperative part can go from a slight discomfort to some pain, but only for one or two days. In that time you have to be inside, because the eye is very sensitive to light. After that, it takes about a month to get fully recovered. Until then your sight can be a little blurry.
