I was very short sighted at -5.5 with astigmatism and the clinic in Subi wouldn't do it. Went to Dr McGeorge at SJOG Murdoch and was no problem for him . cost $6K both eyes done on same day. Was meant to keep eyes dry for a few weeks but went to Thailand the very next week and went swimming & snorkelling whoops.
2 years later I still get dry eyes sometimes which makes the vision a bit blurry but not that bad. Just have a bottle of moisturising eyedrops handy.
I was told I would see halos at night around lights but I don't have that problem or it doesn't bother me. My night vision is as good as before with glasses.
