I had Lasik done about 6 years ago, after having worn contacts for over 20 years and glasses for 5 years before that. The correction got me from a minus-40 to a zero (20/20) on the vision scale. In other words, I was in coke-bottle territory before surgery. I had absolutely no complications, a quick recovery, and my vision held up very well.

BUT... late last year I noticed I was starting to squint to see clearly, especially at night. I got checked out, and my optometrist measured me at a minus-4. According to the doc, I'm just a victim of the aging process, and it was nothing to worry about. I now have a pair of glasses I wear for night driving and whenever I really need to see clearly in the distance (like when I slice my golf ball into the trees!).

Bottom line: am I glad I had Lasik - you bet! I would even consider having a second Lasik procedure to get me back to 20/20 or better.
