Whilst I can’t note on the long term safety of laser eye surgery, I can tell you that it is entirely right that your eyesight will deteriorate as you age, irrespective of laser surgery or not.
As we get older, we gradually become more long-sighted (Pres-myopic), this is why you will notice older people needing reading glasses – they can’t see up close any more and a lot of them won’t admit it! Similarly, the lens in the eye hardens, making shifts between small and long range focus out of the inquiry – hence multi-focal lenses. (Which once were bifocal)
I am was born myopic (I am small-sighted) and thus paradoxically enough, my eyesight is really improving as I get older. The offsetting side of course is that I need multifocal specs now. But technology being what it is, I do in fact have multifocal friend lenses – work that one out – you can’t place them in upside down. Concentric rings according to the optician.

Lasik and Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.
Forerunners Healthcare is very well-known in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient tales.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and additional international patients who plot to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not roofed by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.http://www.forerunnershealthcare.com
Hope this helps.

I would not recommend this! A friend of mine had it done, he See’s impeccably during the day but in the evenings he cannot bear to look at bright light, nor does he drive any more after dark the light appear to be like Halos . This hurts his eyes and causes migraines.

my friend had laser surgery – and she found her eye sight to be perfect. but she then had a baby and after giving birth her eye sight detiorated to some extent. it’s still much better than before the surgery – but not perfect.
she sought advice from the laser clinic but they said they can’t be reliable for someone having a child after they have had the treatment.

I just do not trust it, I have thought about getting it done, but I don’t have confidence in it at all, if it goes incorrect you are buggered.
