I did not have LASIK done there, but did have it here in the US in 1999. I would say, make sure you are fully informed beforehand of the potential side effects and/or complications. I read a ton of horror stories before I had it done but went ahead with it anyway. I have had some minor issues with what they call "starbursting" but nothing too bad. My issue now is that my vision has regressed a fair bit. I went from basically blind before the surgery to 20/15 in both eyes. I think it is now something like 20/40 or 20/50 and I find that I need to wear glasses or contacts again, albeit at a much lighter correction factor. So, it wasn't a permanent solution for me. In theory I could have it done again but my eye doctor advises against it.
