I do software development for a living and about 5 years ago, I had lasik so that I could get rid of wearing glasses. Although my vision went to 20/15 after the surgery and although I did my homework, went with a name brand surgeon in my state but according to my surgeon, I happen to had fallen into the 1% category that reports 20/20 vision or better but I see artifacts in my vision. I don't see halos or blurriness, instead, it looks like I'm seeing artifacts that are highlighted by light. My theory is that I've seeing scarring from the procedure. The artifacts are really close looking like floaties but I know what floaties look like and these aren't them. Whenever my focus changes from looking at objects from up close to far away or vice-versa, these artifacts move with my vision and come into my vision from the sides. So the times that it really affects me is when my vision is tired like when I stay up late at night, have a headache or when I'm sitting in a dark room looking out a window to a sunny day out. Overall, I'm ok with having lasik, but there are those days when my vision is really bothering me that I somewhat regret having it done. I wish everyone the best in your decision to either have it done or not. Cheers.
