I had it on one eye about 12 years ago, correcting +6 hyperopia, iFS intralase. Result was 2 years of pain and dry eyes, quit my high-paying job, came close to blowing my my brains out a couple of times. If it wasn't for becoming a roided gymcel and a functional alcoholic at the same time there's a good chance I would have gone through with it. Night vision is permafucked but my brain has adjusted a bit to filter out the halos around the car dash lights and street lights. At one point I was looking into having that eye completely removed because wearing an eye patch seemed better than the constant irritation and headache-inducing halos. My vision is "technically" better now according to the chart but still not 20/20, to me it's not perceptibly better at all and in the back of mind is the knowledge that my cornea is permanently weakened. The pain has gone now but still get some sensitivity every now and then and need super thick eye drops. Best part is I never even needed glasses beforehand, I just wanted to correct my vision to help me in sports like IPSC/IPDA competition shooting and tennis. The doctor had no problem doing it anyway.
A couple of my colleagues had it and were fine, but they were able to ditch the glasses so that prob helped their value prop. At the end of the day do what you want, you're going to have to live with it.
