I had LASIK almost 20 years ago and for me it's been wonderful. My vision settled down to a small (about -0.5) prescription which hasn't changed since then. Legally I can drive without glasses but I basically only wear them for driving and the cinema. Multiple optometrists in the years since have told me that I have no corneal flattening, no scarring, and I've had no dryness. Relevant to the OP it was quite a procedure to experience. I was a little concerned before but it was quite interesting to watch the corneal flat be cut open (with no feeling at all) and peeled back, then see the little laser flashes accompanied by (weirdly) a smell of burned hair. When they dropped the flap back down my vision was instantly corrected, although initially a bit cloudy.
