I got LASIK in 20s and had sweet, sweet laser vision for a while. But now, many years later, my vision has started to slip again. I gotta say, this is some bullllllllll shit.
How long did that last for ya, if you don't mind my asking?
I've been in glasses/contacts since like 3rd grade? 5th grade? Somewhere in there. Always liked the idea of being able to wake up with perfect vision every day, but also wanted to wait for tech and techniques to develop a bit more. Figured there's a sweet spot for the procedure where I'll have the benefit during my squirrelly years.
Hitting them mid 30s now so I'm considering the procedure again. If I could get at least a solid decade or so before needing lenses again, feels fairly worth it. How has your experience been with it?
I'm in my late 20s and I got LASIK a couple of years ago. My doctor prepared me for steadily losing vision again when I hit my 40s or so (in a standard "getting older" way) and to be honest it's still worth it to me. It's very convenient and though the procedure wasn't cheap I think I save money in the long run because my contacts and glasses weren't cheap either. I recommend it.
Yep, that was exactly what I did. I got about 14 years out of mine before I started needing glasses again to drive at night. Best money I've ever spent.
