He corrected you nearsighedness, in retrospect you should have asked him not to.
Now you have 20/20 vision and 20/20 hindsight.

I used cod liver oil and vitamin A to dissolve my cataracts........but Grandpa Wally tells a good story about using castor oil.

My father and his brother had cataract surgery and both wished they had done so earlier. Done in their 70’s and 80’s.
I got my little sister lasik this July as she was near -9 nearsighted and her glasses were thick. Now she sees 20/15. She was worried about having to use reading glasses but the plus is she can see great and as she is in Minnesota she will no longer have glasses that fog up in the winter or break. I told as she gets older she will probably need reading glasses but 90% will not.

I too had lasik back in 2007. I was -6. something in both eyes. I have some astigmatism in the right eye and from what I have been reading the eye doctors can correct much of it now. The halo effect should go away or lessen and if it does not then they can do a correction.

I use +1 power reading glasses at work when I look at the pc monitor as the company has lousy Dell Optiplex 790 desktop pcs. The video card uses about 30 watts as the power supply is only 300 watts. I checked into replacing but Dell support recommends another video card that does not improve the text sharpness. My personal desktop is home built and has a video card that recommends as a minimum 500 watts... XFX Radeon R9270X ($149) and a Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H motherboard. ($155) The power supply is a Antec 850 watt one. ($130)

I do not use reading glasses for my pc : )

I can read the text on pill bottles most times but will use reading glasses to read magazines or books occasional as your eyes do get tired and as you age they cannot focus like before.

Think of the positives. Walk outside and look around and see everything sharply where before they were blurry or cloudy. Having to wear reading glasses on sometimes is a small price.

I use these very lightweight reading glasses. Made of titanium. Get the +1 and no stronger unless you really need it. The eye doctor told me not to wear my glasses too much as the eyes will become dependant on them.
