I wanted to share this with the boarders:
What single thing I found is most often misunderstood about Lasik in the public's mind:
Because the public generally "thinks" (and is often told in advertisements) that Lasik will rid them of glasses & contacts forever, I have found the following presentation quite an enlightening reply when I am asked about Lasik and Refractive surgeries)
Your vision system is "fluid". The physiological factors that change your vision correction do not cease or stop after lasik (refractive surgery). Therefore, this procedure, even if 100% successful and having no apparent side effects for *you*, can only correct your vision completely for a specific slice-in-time. When your vision/refraction subsequently changes, you have the choice of:
1. Tolerating less than the best, most acute vision as you seek to avoid glasses or contacts
2. Begin again to wear glasses/contacts (and for many people, they will say what's the point)
3. Undergo a/the surgery again at twice the risk factor for omplications.
