I can see every light on the field at night as sharp as can be. The rest of the day after the surgery.....not gonna lie the eyes hurt. Next day a little sore there was some light sensitivity for a while. For a couple months after I used eye drops for dryness....can kinda feel like you have a hair in your eye or something. After a while it's like it never happened. I'm 20/15 both eyes. It's awesome. No regerts.
I had my eyes done back in the early 2000's before wavefront technology was in use. I had pretty significant halos at night for a few months. My eyes were 20/15 up until a couple years ago. I'm not sure if everyone is using the newer machines but make sure and ask. I'd defintely do it again, it was a major improvement in QOL for me.
