Re: EYE SURGERY (LASIK)
Had lasik in 2001. I was at outer limit of correction that was possible at the time. Dr said I'd need reading glasses when done. I do. I have 20/25 in one eye and significantly poorer in another eye. Overall I'm glad I had it done. I only wear glasses for reading. I do a lot of sports including tennis, swimming and golf and do not need glasses and see just fine. Great not having lenses to fog up playing tennis and seeing where I'm going when swimming.
I took effort to ensure I had experienced top notch Dr. In 2001 there were some Dr's struggling with Lasik. I found a top rated dr that did a lot of corrections from other Dr's mistakes. I sure would make sure the Dr is experienced. Also you should ask about success/failure rates.
One downside of Lasik I just heard. I know have cataracts and the lens implants for cataracts are more complicated due to the Lasik surgery. In addition, they can not insert lens perfect for reading and distance. I'll still need reading glasses.
