It always looked scary to me - cutting on my eyes!! But I haven't heard any first-hand stories of any bad outcomes.

From what I've heard, some folks end up with halos around bright lights at night.

My wife got it probably 12-15 years ago, and later was not sure that she was glad that she did. It wasn't the life changing update that most folks get. Her vision deteriorated fairly quickly, and I think we paid closer to 3000-3500 for each eye (or maybe it was 2500 ea).
