It’s permanent. However, your eyes may change in the future. SO
Once you have a good result and stable, you should have excellent distance and reading vision for a long time. Once you get into your forties, a different focusing problem called presbyopia which affects your close vision will begin to get worse and you will need reading glasses.
Usually under ten minutes of actual surgery. Preparation may take longer
