This is me. I had LASIK in a highly rated surgery in London about 18 months ago where the care and after care was exceptional. I had halos for about 1 month after, but that was it. My eyes were dry for a week or two, but again they soon went back to normal (I recommend Blink drops - amazing). I was left with 20/12 vision and couldn't recommend having it done more.

Please could you share the name of the London clinic?

Sure - it was https://www.londonvisionclinic.com/
My Mum and sister both had Lasik here as well (again, no problems at all) and I couldn't recommend them more.
I got Wavefront LASIK more than a year ago and it feels like I was born with perfect vision -- I seriously have no side effects. Seriously, what are halos? I couldn't describe it to you even if I tried. The first few months were pretty dry (to the point where I had headaches) but that eventually subsided. If you're in the market for LASIK and actually do your due diligence, it's pretty common to see people who are dealing with side effects. My advice is to (1) don't cheap out and feel comfortable with your doctor, and (2) adopt a healthy lifestyle to let your eyes heal.
LASIK was one of the best investments I've ever made. I think most people who've had the procedure will say the same.
