I had lasik about 7 years ago. Results continue to be pretty good.

No problem with dry eyes but, I do get halos around bright lights at night especially in my left eye. That's the eye that required the most correction.
My eyes were so bad (nearsighted) that one doctor refused to do lasik and wanted to do another procedure. Previously, I was wearing contacts. 7.75 diopter in my left eye and 5.75 in my right eye.

For the lasik, I chose to do "monovision". Basically, my left eye (dominant eye) is corrected for distance and my right eye is correct for reading. That way I rarely need glasses for any reason. About the only time I wear glasses is when I drive so both eyes are corrected for distance. It makes driving less tiring.
