I had lasik about 5 years ago and I've been very happy with the results. I previously had been moderately near-sighted and even after 5 years I'm still at 20/20. The cost was pretty expensive, the procedure was rather intense (remember, it is surgery), and the recovery was fairly quick but nerve-wracking due to the uncertainty of how your vision will end up leveling out. I've had no long-term problems with dry eyes. The only side effects I really have are slight "halos" - which for me actually mean 3 prongs of light extending above bright light sources. This has changed my night-vision in a significant way but not in a disruptive one. It's simply that bright lights just look different to me at night than they used to. If that might matter to you, it would probably be a good reason to not do it at all. I would do it again, though. To me the convenience outweighs the hassle and expense of the procedure.
