A friend of mine, who had it done at the same place I did, wasn't even sun-sensitive after the 1st full day. She has had absolutely no problems and would be totally fine in your situation.
For me, however, I had it done in 2002 and I still could buy stock in Genteal considering how often I have to use the drops. I've gone to the gel, actually, because it lasts longer.
I'm now back in glasses, but the truth is the glasses never stopped. Why? Because you HAVE TO wear sunglasses. Forever. For me, I got so sun-sensitive that on a sunny day here in the Pacific NW I sometimes have to wear sunglasses INSIDE. Of course, if we would stop renting places with big huge windows that let all the light in that wouldn't be an issue, but we do so it is.
I also developed a horrible problem going from light to dark and dark to light. When at
Disneyland, we ate at Blue Bayou and had waterside tables (that's the restaurant that looks over the POTC ride), and I could barely see the table, it was so dark. If I made the mistake of looking towards the door, which was letting in the so cal sunshine in, I was blind for a minute or two while my eyes readjusted.
Even now, if there's a flash-photographer on a dark ride, it destroys my ride b/c I either have to keep my eyes shut or deal with basically having my eyes shut as my eyes deal with the sudden light.
Taking a break to truly blink to deal with the dryness in my left eye (which also has a HUGE bloodshot vein that has been there since Lasik and there is nothing to be done about it...it irritates my eyelid and never goes away).
I had Lasik done for vanity ("I don't want to walk down the aisle wearing glasses") and have paid heavily for it ever since.
ON the other hand, my sister in law has had nothing but beautiful times with it, and has had two touchups since she had it done in around 2000.
If you go to a place that does free touchups, you'd better wear your sunglasses ALL the time, because if they see any sun damage in your eyes you won't get that touchup for free. (SIL recommends not going to a place that does free touchups, she paid big bucks out of pocket each time, and has had nothing but good results, so she might have something there)
You just never know how your body will react. So bulk up your GOOD sunglasses budget, because eye care insurance doesn't usually cover 'em.
Being an outlier is no fun, but you just never know if it might be you. There aren't many things I regret in life, but Lasik is right near the top of my list. Sure, I was 20/20 for about 8 years, but now I'm not and I still have all the problems. Not quite a win/win situation.
Hope you don't end up like me!
