That could be or could not be true. It depends how they sculpt your cornea. LASIK is good for near and far - in fact I can get them to split my eye into near and far - but where I'm at its pointless because my eyesight is still deteriorating.CommieChipmunk wrote:
You can do it earlier than 28, but it doesn't mean that you won't need glasses. LASIK can fix your distance vision, but as a result, up close will be blurry (even if you've never had a problem with it).
Dam you guys, get glasses instead...it will keep me in work
I had 20/20 until about three years ago... and it's starting to deteriorate. I can't see/read anything that's not at least 18" away from my damn face, so if any closer I feel like an old man... then I am like "oh, I need my glasses," or "sonny, I left my glasses at home can you read that label for me - what does it say?"KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

An ex-flatmate got it done at 24.
Alright, so then I can wear my contacts through basic and my career in the military? I aint going college until afterwards so there wont be much except working shitty jobs for those few years until I can get the surgery...SEREMAKER wrote:

Yeah, Im looking at the military, and with 20/50 vision, they are gonna require I wear glasses, contacts dont really work out there I guess..lol.PureFodder wrote:
I know someone who got it done at about 23/24 so he could join the police force. It maybe different depending on country specific policies though.
