Does lasik surgrey last forever?

my friend (seriously, my friend) was considering lasik surgrey and he wants to know if lasik last forever. will the eyes go back after sometime like say 5 years?

I had Lasik surgery, and unfortunately my vision has worsened (from 20-15 to 20-40). On the good side, though, my vision is still better than it was pre-surgery.

Even with lasik you will still need reading glasses when your 40. You just won't need bifocals.

My daughter , had this surgery a few weeks ago,,, and Yes was told she would have better than 20/ 20 vision for the rest of her life,,,
So lets hope so, for all that have it

No, LASIK surgery is only temporary. On average it lasts between 6-10 years. As people age, their vision changes - especially around the age of 40 and older (due to presbyopia - aging of the lens, which causes the need for reading glasses).

If their vision changes the patient can always come back for an enhancement (touch-up surgery) to fine tune the eye and get it to it's best corrected vision. Patients need to have enough corneal tissue to do an enhancement though.
