So I spent top dollar on my LASIK and I have night time glare.
That said - completely worth it. It's a tradeoff I'll make every single time.
At my last job, there was a girl who had probably the worse case scenario: She got LASIK then 5 years later here eyes reverted back and she needed glasses again.
What does she say? Best 5 years of her life, would do it again in a heartbeat if she could.

That’s absolutely not the worst case. —- Scott Petty, 36, a 3D artist from Houston who developed video games for a living, was diagnosed with corneal ectasia six months after having Lasik surgery. His sight has continued to deteriorate, even after he underwent a new procedure called corneal cross-linking to strengthen his cornea. He is in so much pain that he is “almost suicidal,” he said. “It’s like hot grease is in my eyes, 24-7. I pretty much have to admit my career is over.”

- macintux 8y agoThat’s fine, but irrelevant. The parent described a “worst case” scenario which was clearly not even in the ballpark.
- SpecialistEMT 8y agoThe obvious difference is you have to drive a car but you dont have to do Lasik - you can just wear glasses.
