lasik: wearing glasses with extra steps?

I was very near sighted, had to wear glasses for everything.

Got lasik.

Now my vision is perfect. Procedure was not too unpleasant and was fast and professional. Cost was reasonable for a surgery on my eyeballs. Recovery was fast and not difficult.

Now I can see without needing to put on glasses. No worrying about losing my glasses. No poking myself a dozen times in the eye to get contacts in.

I am extremely happy with my lasik experience.

Honestly, the person you talked to about the procedure was probably not upselling you. They told you up front and in plain english that you would probably still need glasses. There is no reason for them to damage their firm's reputation by lying to you. lasik centers typically have plenty of business - their job is to inform you as best as they can, and make you feel like you will be taken care of and are in control.

I had that after my Lasik for about three months. That said, it was twenty one years ago, and I needed lenses so thick they couldn't do glass, and I now may need reading glasses because of age and a totally unrelated retina issue. Been 20/20 for twenty years.

I've been interested in it since I was young but never prioritized it. When I called a clinic in my late thirties they recommended me to not get it, as it likely wouldn't be too long until I got age related presbyopia. They recommended to wait until that happened and then get a lens replacement instead.
So only go for LASIK if you're fairly young is probably a good idea.
