[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lasik not permanent, OP. You will eventually need glasses.

Lasik is only worth it if you have a sensory-aversion against glasses/contacts, or are an athlete or performer where glasses are not possible or socially acceptable.

I've had glasses since I was 4. I love picking out new glasses. Everyone in my family and my husband's family has glasses. My kids have glasses. My BIL got Lasik years ago, then a decade later, needed glasses.

This is entirely dependent on your prescription. I was at -8 with astigmatism. My glasses were heavy and expensive.  I had refractive surgery six years ago at the age of 44.  Yes, I would need to wear reading glasses now, of course I do. But they are light and cheap and comfortable. And most importantly, they are not necessary for my minimal functioning. I can go to the bathroom, go to a waterpark, etc. without worrying about being non-functional without glasses.

A mild prescription at an older age is probably not worth it, but for a high prescription, can be. I’m still thrilled at waking up and seeing the alarm clock, and not having to sleep with my glasses on the pillow next to my head.[/quote]
