My Dad had LASIK done few years ago and he said that while his daytime vision improved to being perfect, his nighttime vision while driving actually worsened - he said that the halos around bright lights were so distracting that he would rather not drive at night if he absolutely doesn't have to.

I had LASIK done some 10 years ago and I experience the same halos. It's quite annoying and disturbing. Not only that, the positive effects of the operation are not permanent. 3 years ago my vision worsen and I had my eyes checked discovering my myopia was back with 0.5 dioptres. The worst part was that the doctor said it was usual for people operated with LASIK to experience the same 7/8 years after the operation. My advice is don't do it, the short term improvements are not worth the long term issues.
BTW, have you ever noticed that many ophthalmologists wear glasses? I wonder why...
