I had LASIK in the summer of 2002. (Wow, hard to believe it's been more than 8 years!)

No problems to report. I do experience the so-called "halos" while driving at night, but it's not a problem and hasn't impacted my night driving.

Furthermore, a few of us got LASIK that same summer:

    - My mother, who was 51 at the time
    - My wife
    - My best friend

All three of us have had no problems.

We all used the same doctor, Dr. Rajesh Rajpal in Washington DC. He led the LASIK clinical trials resulting in FDA approval in 1995. I believe (but can't confirm online) that he's done over 25,000 operations in his lifetime.
