I had lasik. It was awesome. I went from 20/200 in one eye and 20/300 in the other to 20/40 in both. I did have one eye regress after a year and I had to have a follow up procedure called Lasek wherein they scrape the lens of the eye. My eye watered like crazy for weeks afterward. It looked like looking through a very thick sheet of plastic for the first few months after that. After about 6 months it was like looking through a sheet of saran wrap. After about a year it was good.
I eventually had to have glass again when I hit my early 40s but fixing my eyes was some of the best money I ever spent. I can’t begin to tell you how joyous it was throwing my old glasses in the garbage because I no longer needed them after having be stuck with glasses until my early 30s when I finally had the money to get lasik. I hated them so much I only wore them to read. I just wish I could have had lasik 15 years earlier.
LASIK in the early 00s.
20 /400 to 20/20 after all my life unto my early 30s needing glasses.
Some of the best money I ever spent.
I got maybe 12 years out of it.
Although I wear glasses for reading and to help with a lazy eye, I can see very well otherwise without them.
