Watching my sister, who had it done ~10 years ago, struggle to stay between the lines on the freeway at night due to halos I wrote it off completely. Even with these issues she’s perfectly happy with the results. Again, I don’t get it.
I was myopic (20/350) that got corrected to 20/15. Things I can do now: * Being able to lay in bed and look around the room and see things in focus. * Being able to lay in bed and look at my significant other and it not be a out-of-focus blurry mess. * Being able to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom without hunting for glasses. * Being able to go swimming without goggles. * Avoiding the discomfort of contact lens wear and cleaning. * Being able to do read while laying on the couch without bending my frames. * Avoiding possibility of eye infection due to dirty contact lenses. * Avoiding the need to clean and wash glasses due to dirt. * Avoiding the painful removal of contact lenses after falling asleep with them in due to tiredness.

In my sisters case, she now has prescription night driving glasses and prefers not to drive at night with my niece. I’m not sure why but “was worth it” is what she’d say and similar reasons to yours are what she’d give.
