Many LASIK patients may wind up with glare, halos or other visual symptoms

contacts irritated my eyes if I wore them for more than 12 hours. I'd have to decide if I was going to go out in the evening or not, and if so, I'd wear glasses during the day. If I wore them more than 12 hours, I'd have to wear glasses for the next few days because of the irritation. Don't get me started on what happened if I fell asleep with them in my eyes.

the last 4 or so years before lasik I mostly wore glasses except for special occasions where I'd wear contacts.

This is basically me. I wear contacts for "special occasions" but have really been considering lasik recently.

What has your post-lasik experience been like?

I had to try many brands. Finally found one I can wear 18 hours a day. Hard to think of a benefit to Lasik. Maybe open water swimming I fear losing a contact, but has never happened yet.
