Most guys I know who got eye surgery were pleased with the results, just make sure you are ok with consequences if you are part of the small percentage with bad results.
That's why I never did it.

Also, you will almost certainly lose at least a little BCVA in the procedure. My vision is outstanding with minor correction, I could lose a line or two and still pass a medical but I LIKE my outstanding vision. If you read right at 20/20 you might not be able to quite get to 20/20 with or without correction after LASIK (or other surgery).
