gee wizzz
Dude I had my eyes fixed back in the late 80's. Initially there were a few side effects. First was a sensitiveity to irritants--smoke,air freshener etc The secont was seeing pretty tings of color ound street lights at night. the third was an increased sensitiveity to bright sunlight. Every one of those things settled down in the first few months.

What are they like for correcting astigmatism now? My optometrist doesn't seem that keen on the procedure, said it didn't always fix astigmatism and if you're over 40, the results aren't so long term. But although I don't mind wearing glasses, I do get fed up with having to put them on to see labels, read the paper, etc - no more reading in bed lying on my side either - the glasses get pushed out of shape!
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

It can correct some conditions as of today
But that it does not stop the eye continuing to change
And that it often can not be repeated

Due to the overwhelming good reports, I have now booked in for my consultation.
Now its just a matter of if I can find enough cash to get both eyes done at the same time, or if I'll have to wait and get the other eye done in 12 months.
Rest In Peace
Do them both at same time,I know what it's like to have one contact lens split,have to chuck it away,and one eye with lens,other without makes vision strange,one eye stronger than other.

Quite true. The eyes deteriorate after 50, but lasik corrrection brings your vision back to the normal standard expected. Repeated surgery depends on the individual and the thickness of the cornea.

Yep, LASIK doesn't stop your eyes from getting older
Of course, going from good working eyes to old tired eyes is better than going from next to useless eyes to totally useless eyes

I may look into it then - even if I only had a few years without wearing glasses it would be great!

Very funny post
Your optomertrist will talk to you about Carder grafts to correct the certain failure and how you may be permanently blind. Like he wants to lose your lucrative business (not).
Both of my eyes were astigmatic. I had to wear Toric contact lenses and the prescription was a best guess scenario as the correct prescription wasn't doing it for me.
Having had the procedure done in 2004, I can say that it was a truly liberating experience.
One side effect only is that I am now slightly long sighter (+.75 & +1.0). This is better than the standard for my age.
Shake it!
Im interested in getting this done too. So let us know how it goes. My eyes are -3 I think. Dont mind wearing contacts and glasses for the time being though.
could catch a monkey
Do it do it do it. At least go for the free appointment to see if you're suitable.
Problem solved.
