Re: Damn, I need some lasek for my eyes
Not everyone is eligible for Lasik. They can correct some degree of astigmatism, especially with some of the newer technology, but be prepared to pay more for it.
There is an age limit to Lasik, and they are more hesitant to perform it for people approaching 50 because it does not correct farsightedness that is due to aging. They are worried many people will be disappointed when they find out they may still need bifocals after getting Lasik.
My nearsightedness wasn't extreme, but I did wear glasses/contacts all day every day, and they were required for me to drive. I had almost no recovery pain and no side effects from the surgery, but my doctor said based on my pupil size and degree of nearsightedness, I was an ideal candidate for Lasik.
