One of my best friends got LASIK and reported terrible results (to the point where worries about his vision problems were giving him suicidal thoughts).

Another, contrary datapoint: I had LASIK myself, around a year ago. It went well. I do experience the most common side effect (starbursts/halos) but consider it more than worth it nonetheless.
