Congrats Jay. Happy to hear it all worked out well.
I had the procedure done a couple years ago. I see 20/20 & 20/15.
My years of running ultraMarathons in the sun caught up to me. My Dr was one the ones to develop the procedure. He was an ultraMarathon & Triathalon runner too. He actually purchase the rights to the Iron man a few years ago.

The only problem with getting news lenses is seeing how ugly your friends really are! 
Congrats on the successful eye surgery Jay.
