Hello,
Looking at having Lasik laser eye surgery. Went to a Lasik seminar around 2 years ago, but didn't have the money back then, but now thinking more seriously about it. Saw that, that Dr Andrew Rochford off TV's What's good for you" had it done; but one thing that surprised me was that the Eye Doctor said that at around 43 (Andrew was around 28 at the time) he'll have to start wearing glasses for reading again as your eyes diminish from around mid 40's onwards. Still at age 31 myself I think 12 or more years of great vision is worth spending around $7,000 on for both eyes.
I'd appreciate others sharing their experiences (hopefully all positive); particularly those who had it done maybe 5-10 years ago & what their eyes are like now; also like to know your age then or now (if you don't mind) & if the above scenario about wearing glasses is true or not?
I've spent the last 16 years or so with glasses & really missed out on being able to do a lot of outdoor activities; particularly swimming & going to the beach. Much appreciated in advance.
