I think the amount of satisfaction you’ll have, will depend at least partially what your vision was like before surgery. I was near-sighted before, and pretty much have been all my life.reading a book was generally no issue. now, if I want to read, I need glasses. I can drive without, and can actually see the moon, but all things considered I’d rather be able to read. I probably would have looked for alternatives. I really read a lot. Sadly, I have extreme issues typing wich are another issue, but yeah, I’d prefer to read without glasses if I could.
My lasik was set up as monovision so retained the best of both worlds (near/far vision respectively assigned to left and right eye). Not everyone’s brain can tolerate it but for those who can it’s great.
