I am in my early 30’s and I had it done. It is great!!! I could see 20/20 the very next day. There is dryness and they give you artificial tears to use (after the two different antibiotics you have to use every couple hours for 5-7 days). I had it done in August and I still use Refresh Plus. Sometimes, I have some blurriness, but that only occurs when my eyes are dry. If I used the artificial tears as often as I should, I would have no problems at all. FYI – my prescription was -5.25 in the right eye and .4.75 in the left.

my sister got it done 2 years ago now and she still has 20/20 vision and has never complained about any side affects or any vision issues since she has had it done.
if you are a great candidate then it should work extremely well for you.

*EDIT*
oh and don’t listen to “pete h” he keeps posting that on every answer he gives. so please don’t even listen to the spam he is giving as an answer cuz he is giving every person those same websites.

Your eye will get very very dry, and as you age, you will very likely to become longsighted- i recommend you try the bates method first -. or use accommotrac – or use eyerelax-http://www.eyecollege.com/. so before you take that step try these methods first, there is no risk at all, here more on risk of lasik -. i my self have personal account on the bates method, it works, i was -4.25D i dumped my glasses in the bin after i know about the bates method, i completely stop wearing it, i didnt care i could not see clearly but with much practice 13 weeks later i was able to see the second chart. it takes time. i have also taken bilberry and Lutein.

best of luck

Someone I use to date got it done and he had no problems. The first day things were still a little blurry like expected but after a few days he saw great. If your doctor said it was a good idea I would do it.

My sister-in-law had it done a few months back and the only side effect was blurry vision. Other than that, everything went well. But best to do more research.

Good Luck.
