I live a pretty active lifestyle, I swim, skydive, go running, box, play squash (not all at the same time). I had LASIK about 7 years ago and having wore glasses and contact lenses for 8 years prior to that I still tell anybody who will listen it was the best £2,000 I ever spent. There was one downside to the operation and that was if I stared at a screen for a long amount of time, or worked too many late nights, I suffered from really dry eyes. It was almost painful. Fortunately some drops that I kept with me for about six months took the edge off of it and now I don't suffer with this anymore. The Halo thing is definitely a side effect. As other people have pointed out, it's no worse than contact lenses/glasses. I now no longer have to worry about looking for my glasses first thing in the morning. I can play any sport without fear of losing or breaking my glasses. Wearing non-prescription sun glasses is something I now take for granted and a complete joy. I genuinely do believe that my overall quality of life has improved as a result of the operation.
