If you hate wearing glasses or putting in contacts day after day AND if you are over 40, do it. However, you will need reading glasses within 5 years thereafter, (you'll need them anyway) and eventually glasses all the time. IMO, it is not a permanent solution.
In my experience, lights at night will look like stars from a distance then develop halos after years. This is because the pupils dilate at night bringing the edge closer to the cut which distorts the vision. Of course I was done almost 10 years ago. One eye now has gone closer to "near sighted" and the other closer to "far sighted".
I went from 20/400 vision to 20/15 within a week. What a great experience. It has eventually gone to 20/30 or thereabouts.
I suggest reading all you can regarding the surgery and make your own choice based on other's experiences. As far as choosing a doctor, seek a second and third opinion. I decided against one based on the doctor's attitude.
Good luck.
