Skippie, I had lasik surgery at 52. That was four years ago and I have 20/20 vision. It's wonderful to be free of glasses and I couldn't wear contacts anymore. The procedure has improved and they can achieve a more precise outcome now.
I advise you to not go with the least expensive clinic though. Make sure whoever performs your surgery comes highly recommended.
My opthamologist referred me to the Dr. who did mine.
Your first app't will be to determine if you're a good candidate and gives you the opportunity to ask questions. I also did a lot of reading about it beforehand and talked to other people who had it done. In other words, do your homework.
The woman who did my surgery was a retinal specialist and she said lasik surgery was safer than wearing contact lenses and gave me a 98% chance of success. So for me it was a no brainer. Anyways, I am so glad I went ahead with it.
Oh, another thing is to make sure that the clinic has the latest equipment. |

| I think it's great that you're anticipating your 50th, nadjazz. I had my crisis birthday at 35, when I panicked about the fact that I hadn't done anything worthwhile with my life - not in a career or educational sense but in the sense that if I died, I wouldn't have done anything to make the world a better place. This year, I'm finally getting around to doing that. In January, I donated a kidney to someone who needed one very badly, so my 50th birthday is definitely going to be my best ever. |
