Look into all the data, and know your risk. About 80% have no problems, about 1/2 that have problems can be touched up, the other 1/2 never recover, some end up blind.
I had worn glasses all my life and I though it might be nice to not need glasses. I was shooting High Master level scores both at NMC courses (200-300-600 yards), and at Long range/Palma (800-900-1000 yards) with an iron sighted rifle using nothing but normal prescription glasses.
I went to the most expensive guy in Lafayette, the one with the commercials in 2004. I not only did I end up worse, I was unable to pass the Indiana Drivers exam or my work physical with even the best glasses they could make. When they took the bandages off, not only was I not better, I could not tell if it was a man or a woman in front of me. I saw 5 of everything. Unable to read, watch TV, Drive, Work, etc. I was legally blind. He did not know how to fix it. The guy actually said that I was not qualified to assess my own vision, as If I didn't own these eyeballs for 40 plus years. ( I guess being able to hit a mans head from 5/8ths of a mile away with iron sights and work on electronic circuit boards is not a test of vision) He told me that no one ever had trouble before, then I meet my apprentices' girl friend who had exactly the same problem from the same Dr.
I had to go to Dr. Francis Price in Indianapolis for several proceedures over the next year. I had to pay out of my pocket multiple 1000's of dollars. It was a few years before I could pass the drivers eye exam for an Indiana license.
The best result is that I can now see 20/40 with the best corrective glasses that can be made. I have constant eye problems. I also do not know anyone who had lasik 10 or more years ago who does not require glasses now, at least part of the time.
Do your research, there are lots of internet articles. It is a gamble. I hope it works out for anyone who throws the dice. Just do not enter the arena without understanding the risk. No matter what the guy selling the proceedure says, THERE IS RISK!
I had mine done in Oct 2001. My vision was around 20/200 or so in both eyes. I'm 20/18ish now, I was 20/15 after the surgery. I'm 42 now. This is a surgical procedure and nothing is ever 100%. That sucks you had such horrible issues.
