I had LASIK done this January, right after allocating the LASIK bill to my company's flexible spending account the previous December. I highly recommended using the FSA since the surgery is paid with pre-tax dollars, effectively shaving 35% off the price of surgery. Right after the surgery, I noticed my vision was way better than pre-surgery, when wearing contacts, everything was crystal sharp. I went for a post surgery eye exam and the optometrist said I had 20/15 vision. Certifiable laser eyes!
Shortly after, I left my programming desk job to do some world travelling. Normally, I sit in front of the computer for 12+ hours a day, but during these 3 months of backpacking, I was walking around all day and had minimal computer interaction. It was incredible seeing New York and Europe with this new set of eyes.
After returning home and resuming the 12 hours routine of sitting in front of the computer I've noticed my eyesight has deteriorated/settled in a little and probably dropped back to 20/20 vision. I get some halos at night but this seems more of an effect of dry eyes and remedied with eye drops. Do some research on your LASIK surgeon, but I would highly recommend LASIK.
