It is an operation done to get normal visual acuity. I heard in some people colours go all hazy, abnormalities may occur...
Answer
I've had it done myself. The most common side effects include halos at night or more glare at night. This usually is most prominent the first 1-2 months after surgery. I don't even notice it anymore. Dry eyes can be another side effect of Lasik surgery. This is more of an issue if you already have dry eyes before having the procedure. Surgeons usually test for severe dry eyes first.
Sometimes people have the misconception that it will last forever. While the structural change to the corneal from the laser is permanent, it won't stop your eyes from changing prescription. For most people it will last a very long time though. Many folks can go 8 to 10 years before needed a light pair of driving glasses again.

Answer
I'm one of the 3% who aren't happy with it.
In my case, I think they cut a divit across the surface which can't be corrected (though I haven't checked in the last few years). This means that my eye sight is UNCORRECTABLE at around 20/60. Certainly a hell of a lot better than it was, but still not crisp. I miss having crisp vision (even if it did take glasses).
If I were you, I don't think I would use me as a huge reason not to do it:
1: I did it very early on when it was "bleeding edge" technology. In particular, they didn't have Wavefront technology for really clearly mapping the eye before they operate.
2: I had a horrible prescription to start with. I think now-a-days, they don't even offer Lasik as an option to people whose prescription is as bad as mine.
Never-the-less, it is a surgical procedure and surgical procedures do have risks. I think most of the "3 percenters" complain about poor night vision (the so called "rainy windshield" effect), but some have actually completely lost the vision in one or even both eyes.
But 97% are thrilled with it. Those are pretty good odds!
