Could someone who has had lasik eye surgery tell me the pros amp cons of the procedure?Pia
I am curious about it. I heard that for some people night driving is difficult as they see "halos" around lights and causes distortions.

I had the procedure in Nov 2007 and I love it!! But it IS harder to drive at night for me. I have to consciously focus harder- the halos are not really an issue for me, as I wore contacts for so long (and they were often dirty enough!) that I can compensate....my issue with night driving is that my LASIK correction was done unevenly (on purpose-to forestall needing bifocals) so that one eye is better than 20/20 and one eye is a bit worse. It just takes a little getting used to.It is genuinely like a miracle for me- I was 20/200 or worse and the procedure has changed my life. I am a huge advocate, but also concerned about the mall practioners and the like. I went to Johns Hopkins Wilmer EYE Institute and paid ALOT for the surgery, but did not want to risk what eyesight I had on a sub-standard procedure. Bottom line, I love my result, but please be careful about WHO does your surgery if you have it done. Do your research and don't price shop!

I haven't had one but I've heard that the effects don't last too many years and then your vision will end up worse than what it was before you had the surgery. If it were me, I wouldn't do it. If it's not a life or death situation I wont have a surgery .
