Depends on what type of procedure you have. Some last a life time, and others only last a few years. We can talk about it in more depth if you reach out to our clinic at 727-738-5900
LASIK can regress, especially if you do extensive near based activities. Any studies done on how long it takes to regression would be population based and not specific for you. Frank Cao
Depends on your current refraction. We can correct your nearsightedness, astigmatism, or farsightedness with laser correction surgery. This will last for the rest of your life. However, you will need reading glasses after the age of 40 which is part of the aging process.
