    LASIK isn’t some great cure. It has potential side effects and you can end up seeing worse than you did before.

      I know I’m just one person, but it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was almost legally blind without glasses/contacts, and just the stress of making sure my glasses prescription was up to date once I switched to contacts, making sure I packed glasses, contacts, extra contacts, solution, etc, for a trip, and losing 1 contact while at the store or something was instantly erased.

      I could read the street signs on the highway on the way home from the surgery. I hadn’t been able to do that unaided since I was probably 10.

      Do I need readers now that I’m older? Yep, just like they told me I would because everyone does because it’s a different issue that comes with aging. I wish they had a similar treatment for Presbyopia!!!

      Sure, everyone’s experience is different, but it almost was akin to a miracle for me. Life changing for sure.
