Now my mom also had it done as well (not in Canada), worked wonders for her initially, but her eyes are now just as bad as they where before...maybe a bit worse. Whether thats because shes become dependent on wearing glasses or age, i don't know. Looks as though it was a good investment for 4 years and not so much now.
She is 61 btw.

Well, I know they tell you that if you're young, your vision will be corrected, but your eyes automatically change when you get older and laser eye surgery can't prevent the changes that will happen in the future...so you may still need reading glasses. However, at the place I went to, if you were anywhere close to 40 (which Im not), they would fix it for you so that your eyes would be able to adjust to the natural change that happens as you age.
I was nervous before getting it done..I was thinking that maybe I shouldve done one eye at a time, just in case something went wrong. However, it's been an extremely positive experience. The only downside is that my eyes sometimes feel dry if Ive been online for a while or if Im watching tv and it's been a few hours. Otherwise, it's awesome. I can't believe its so CHEAP in Canada!!!!!!!! I wish I did it there....my parents live there, I shouldve flown up, gotten it done, and come back. The recovery period isn't very long.....most people are able to drive again in 1-2 days! I was fine the next day.
