what are the possible side effects? downside? should i opt to wear contact lenses forever?

I had the surgery done a year ago now and couldn't be happier. I resisted doing it for a number of years just because it was so new a technology relatively speaking. I studied all the potential side effects and all I could about the surgery before finally deciding the reward out-weighed the risk. I paid approximately $800 per eye for the mid-range level surgery. I couldn't do the cheaper option due to my astigmatism. The surgery itself was painless, though the ring they use to keep your eye open during the procedure was uncomfortable. My payment covered check-ups for a year and a lifetime of redo's should they be needed. I do need to go back to have it done again as it didn't take on my left eye and it's degenerated again. As far as downside to the surgery, I have lost some of my night vision abilities and I struggle to see clearly around dusk. I knew about those risks ahead of time though and being able to wake up and see without fumbling for my glasses is a wonderful thing.
