The doctor said the eyes would continue to adjust for a while and but the vision should remain at 20/20 both eyes when things settle down.

I was all set to have LASIK done but then I found out that my cornea's were too thin and no reputable eye Doc would even think of trying it. The only other alternative is PRK and that won't address my astigmatism and chances are I will need to still wear reading glasses. Not to mention that PRK requires a much longer healing period and is much more painful. I am glad to hear yours worked out well for you and I am a little green with envy.
