Excellent article.
I had LASIK surgery myself and while the procedure was a succes overall, I do 'suffer' from halo's, increased sensitivity to sunlight and reduced night vision. I was informed about the risks beforehand. Despite these side-effects I have no regrets at all and if I could go back in time I would do it again. For me personally the upside of not being visually handicapped anymore outweigh the relatively minor discomforts of the side-effects. 

I am however very glad that I _only_ had these side-effects. Some of the horror stories out there are terrifying.
