I had LASIK done in 2005 (Perth, Australia). I was warned about the side effects (e.g. halos, night vision) before the surgery. I still consider it the best $5k I have ever spent. I'm 43 now and my eyesight is still perfect (I used contact lenses for years prior to the surgery, -7.0 in both eyes). My night vision is not as good as it was before the surgery, but compared to the complications I had with contact lenses, and the problems wearing glasses caused me as a kid, I'd get the LASIK again every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
- __david__ 10y agoSame experience with me (California). I was -7 or so in both eyes and now am about -.25. I got it at least 12 years ago and the improvement and quality of life increase is far greater than the $3k or $4k I spent. Throwing my coke bottle glasses in the trash on the way out of surgery filled me with an immense emotional satisfaction that I couldn't have predicted. Just sitting up from the operating table and seeing faces and making out the design on the wallpaper put a huge smile on my face.
