re: Is Lasik eye surgery worth it?

It depends. If you are -10 the success rate declines. The worse your vision is the less likelihood the surgery works. The people with the best results have mild to moderate nearsightedness.

It also doesn't work as well as you age and need readers. But most people report satisfaction with the surgery. As with escorts your mileage may vary.

I had LASIK when I was around the same age as you are now. Going on 15 years now.

It was no big deal and I cannot remember life with glasses/contacts anymore (all a bad dream!)

It is glorious to see in the shower and see the alarm clock on the nightstand without reaching for my glasses.

Get it done young man!

Very worth it! I had it done several years ago.

I recall some studies indicating 1 in 3 who have the surgery have some type of issue post surgery. As such, you should do your due diligence. While many patients are satisfied early on, issues begin to arise after 6 mos or so and they can be debilitating. The FDA Opthalmic Chief who initially approved LASIK in 1998 is now against the procedure and believes it is not safe or effective, take that for what it’s worth.

My sibling had the procedure and still wears glasses because of issues. A coworker of mine had it done and still wears glasses and has dry eye issues post surgery. I’ve met many people that it didn’t seem to help so I decided it against myself. Best of luck!
