    Lasik, prk and others. You’ll want the most experienced doctors you can so shop around. It’s your eyes after all.

    Ask your current eye doc and they should point you in the right direction

        Be aware the correction likely is not forever and might require further treatments every few years.

          Many, like me, require no treatments as well.

          Also, all of us have close vision issues when we hit our mid forties or so due to our weakening muscles in our eyes, it’s something you can also treat with LASIK, but most use reading glasses.

          Can’t beat Father Time!

          However, my biggest challenge was distance vision (near-sightedness) and that will never go away, so again life long change for many with no downside.

          As always, each person is different and you should be evaluated for a fit for the procedure. Some people have complications like many surgical procedures, and many/most do not.
