LASIK Vision Correction

[droopy0021]

KingDan,

That's the $1MM question. Without much long term research, what does/will happen down the road? It was explained to me that the surgery corrects your vision to near perfect from the way it is that day.

With Lasik the doctor reshapes the tissue underneath the cornea. If you're nearsighted (as I was), my corneal shape (word?) had flattened so they shaved down the sides to more of a peak. That's how I understood the process.

Could my eyes continue to flatten now? I'm guessing. My cornea healed well and has a good thickness to it. So if they told me in 10 years I'd have to get it re-done...I wouldn't be that upset and would've felt for the 15 years it was $$ well spent.

I wore gas permeable hard contacts which were a pain. I had poor vision (don't remember the exact #'s) and dry eyes (winter in the Midwest) with contacts....yuck.
