That scares me. I also have family members who got it decades back and for the most part they all still have to use glasses.
I have ridiculously bad vision (-9.5 contact prescription) and bad astigmatism already, thankfully every optometrist ever has told me I'm a horrible candidate for it so I've never even had the possibility in my mind.
I just asked my eye doctor about this yesterday. She said LASIK would correct myopia for 10-15 years, then it'll start coming back. She also said everyone loses up close eyesight about 45 so you'll have to wear glasses or contacts anyway. Said it's only worth it if you really want to see without putting on glasses.
