Ask YC: Laser Eye Surgery?

Your age also matters. I'm told by my optometrist that you shouldn't really think about LASIK in your 30s, because with current LASIK procedures, your vision will decline more rapidly in your 40s, than if you hadn't gotten this LASIK.

I'm seeing this with two friends who have gotten LASIK and are in their 40s and 50s. Whereas they bragged before how clearly they could see, they both have mentioned needing reading glasses recently.

I'm glad I listened to my optometrist.

I'd just like to add that YMMV, and you'll really want to ask this question of a qualified professional familiar with your eye medical history.

Asking the Internet will not yield you a good answer.
