Lasik Eye Surgery..permanent fix? |
I know people's eyes change over their lifetime....is lasik eye surgery a permanent fix? Or do you have to go back after 5 or 10 years. LASIK is permanent. For example, if you are nearsighted (see well up close but not at a distance). LASIK will likely be able to correct this (provided you prescription has been stable for at least 2 years - recommended guideline). However it is important to remember that once you reach 40, it is natural for your near vision to become progressively more difficult (this is presbyopia). Presbyopia happens to everyone...period. So you may be able to get rid of your glasses for distance (driving, television, sports etc) with LASIK, but once you are over 40, you will likely need to wear reading glasses for near work (fine print, computer, reading etc). I think it's permanent, I had a couple of friends who had lasik eye surgery done. I don't think it's necessary if you're only using reading glasses. But, ask a doctor to be sure. comeng the old feeling I would think it'll change. I had to go back to see an optometrist approximately every 5 years to change my prescription for the past 30 years. That's the reason why I never had a lasik surgery done because I wouldn't want to go back to have 2nd lasik eye surgery done. Besides all of my friends who had it done say they have double night vision. I see 20/20 with my glasses. Why waste time and take the risk? I am satisfied with my glasses. I look better with it too. Besides the methods of lasik surgery still sounds too primitive. I'll wait till technology advances even more. LASIK surgery results are permanent most of the time. Because the diagnostic tests are very accurate and therefore we easily identify which are the patients who will have problems post lasik even before the surgery is done. |
