I had it done in 1997 and paid $2500 per eye. It was rather uncomfortable to have done, but that only lasted for a few minutes. The next day I had 20/15 vision.

It has completely changed my life (for the better). I don't have any after-effects (that I know about). I can read, see far away, drive at night, and have written software for a living for the past 13 years. Don't forget that most people who have a great experience don't write about it on the Internet, only the people with bad experiences do. That means that there's a selection bias on the stories that you read online.
