That surgery is not only very dangerous, but it isn’t permanent. Your vision will revert back over time. My eye doctor said he would never recommend it,and it is way too risky.

Shadow - A number of my friends have had the procedure done and they’re quite happy with it. My eyesight has always been horrid and I’ve thought about getting laser eye surgery for years now. Alas, I’m too damn squeamish. My biggest question is what kind of sedatives would they give me to keep from freaking out in the operating room … :)

Here’s something else to think about: I also heard that one issue with laser correction (for near-sighted) especially for those in the late 30s early 40s is that it may work for a while but as you age you might develop vision issues with close items. For example, your distance vision is fine but then you start having problems with activities such as reading thus the potential need for bi-focals. Last I heard there was no way to give you a laser correction with bi-focal capability so reading glasses would probably be in your future ;-)
That said, of course everyone is different. I just don’t want to risk my eyesight just to avoid wearing glasses/contacts. Glasses have actually protected my eyes on more than one occasion in my lifetime so they aren’t all that bad and who cares if I can see an alarm clock across the room–if it’s across the room it’s because I tossed it there (insert laugh here) and the only thing a clock tells me is that it is time to get up.
Seriously,just wanted to pass that along.

Yep! I’m in that demographic, Mike. After being nearsighted for most of my life, my eyes have changed over the last year or so and I now need bifocals. Sucks getting old, but it sure beats the alternative. :)
