I concur. I got mine done 5 years ago and still marvel nearly every day at how clear my vision is. The hedonic treadmill has yet to detract from the pure joy of not wearing glasses and having crystal clear vision. I am a huge proponent!

The problem with LASIK is that it doesn't address the root of the problem which is that the eyeball gets longer, it only works as if someone carved glasses on your cornea. So you might still get the negative consequences of having a longer eyeball after it.

At what age did you get?

I only found a doctor that suggested LASIK now that I'm old (37), which I know is late for this, still I feel like doing it - even if to play with my kid without glasses for 10 years.

39.

My only regret is not doing it sooner.

I also got laser eye surgery last year, and it's been amazing.
