Another common side affect of this surgery is poorer night vision.
Specifically, light sources get halos around them. Apparently teh correction
does not apply top the full diameter of teh open pupil, so when your eyes are
dark-adapted some aberrations are introduced. There was an article about this
in Sky and Telescope about a year or so ago. Astronomers (at least
observational astronomers) were warned not to get the surgery.
YMMV, of course.
