In that case LASIK isn't going to last long, hence you're a poor candidate for LASIK if you're needing a new prescription that often.
I just looked it up and the LASIK website said a stable prescription for at least two years is required.
Just hit the over 40 bump ... readers are necessary.
I went from needed bifocals to just readers and in 15 years; of wearing 1+ to 1.25+. Now, for fine detail work, i look like the guy from Toy Story 2 with magnifiers up to +4. SMTs are tiny !
Normal computer work, still +1s. I do need a lot more light though.
I don't know about the parent poster above, but my vision is slowly but consistently getting worse every year, for the last five years now. I get my glasses "re-done" each year because my prescription has changed (gotten slightly stronger) each year, and it's cheaper to get new glasses than to re-lens old ones.
If I didn't stare at a screen for 60 hours a week, minor prescription changes might not matter so much. But since I do, wearing a prescription that's only slightly off can still cause some headaches or eye pain.
