Had LASIK done in 1999. Still 20/15 in 2022. Best thing I ever did.

Yes I agree. I was 47 yrs old. 20/10 in both eyes. 62 now still see 20/10 in both eyes.
Wonderful.

Got Lasik in 2013, was a perfect canditate. Was told this by 2 offices, Lasik Md and Eaglevue in Montreal, Canada. Had 20/15 vision, no complications and 3 years after my vision keeps going down every 6 months by about .25. Now stabalized for 2-3 years about at 2.00 and 1.75 which is about what I had originally. My brothers is still perfect 15 years after and my sister is wearing glasses again about 6-7 years after lasik.. My dad also perfect after 20 years. It sucks.. Loved not having to wear glasses..

I got Lasik in June 2023 (50 yrs) to correct my vision after having my vision corrected for cataracts a year before - lens replacement IOL July 2022 (diagnosed at 48yrs). After cataract surgery my vision was terrible, not crisp/clear at any distance, blurry, full of obstructing floaters, and overall not great. I saw better before the surgery wearing glasses or contacts. Was told Lasik would fix this, but I see no noticeable difference. My vision still sucks. My advise is to do a lot of research...and I mean a lot. Don't be lured in by promises that the experience will "change your life" and don't expect a "wow" moment after surgery. If you choose to have it done and it works for you, wonderful; but be prepared to be disappointed in case it doesn't.

Done lasik when I was 45 years but my eye vision kept on going down when I turned 55 years. And still keeps on going down. They says it happens to few.

35M got lasik over 10 years ago, starting to feel my eye need an upgrade.

I got LASIK exactly 20 years ago, and what started out as nearly 20/20 vision has now regressed almost to how it used to be. I have to wear glasses now. So the answer is NO, the results don't last a lifetime for everyone, unfortunately.

[vicrichards]

Well, if when they say results, they mean pain and poor vision, that can last for years.

Does LASIK diagnose lazy eye condition aka amblyopia?
