It works, but it’s short lived.

The eyeball is like the gut it keeps on growing, unfortunately like the gut it doesn't grow like we would want it too. I got mind done about 6 years ago, don't regret it, I was pretty blind figuratively speaking, still have to wear the cheaters for reading, that is something they don't tell you, but it is better then all the time.

“still have to wear the cheaters for reading, that is something they don’t tell you, “

I had Lasik done over ten years ago (was happy then, and still happy now), and that was one of the things that my surgeon made very clear to me. He told me that Presbyopia, or aging of the eye, would still occur as I got older, and I would still need glasses for that. He even went on to warn me that because of the Lasik surgery, that presbyopia would probably hit me sooner than if I hadn’t had the surgery. When I came in for my follow-up appointment the day after surgery, one of the things he did was hand me a newspaper to see if I could still read fine print at a reasonable distance. He was very honest and up-front to be sure that I had realistic expectations before I gave my approval for the surgery.
