I work in IT....that doesn't make me any more confident lol.It's so advanced now that it's all done by machine, at least where I did it
Can't say specifically but two different eye doctors have told her no.Is it something specifc about your daughter's astigmatism that makes it to where she can't wear contacts? I only ask because I have astigmatism and I wear contacts, they just have to be toric lenses.

You are getting on the tail end of when to get it done. Unless things have changed, I was in my late 30's when I had mine done and the Dr said I would still need reading glasses once my eyes started to change from old age. He said that usually starts at around 45. I have to use reading glasses now to read anything on my phone.Ok thanks. I'm nearly 40 and I haven't had to change prescriptions for my contacts in about 10 years so I'd say I'm good to have it done. I may start seriously look into having it done. I've always been afraid of healing time but it seems like I've probably worried for no reason.
That is true, but also depends on how much they had to laser. My friends wife had it done and it didn't work in one eye. They tried another time and it still didn't work. They said they couldn't do it anymore and so now she has to wear glasses to correct the vision in just one eye.You can get it more than once. Sometimes places offer a "warranty" so that if your eyes do change years post surgery, they will correct at no extra expense.
I have the same problem. Never had that issue until after the surgery. The Dr said the laser kills some of the nerves in the eye and so it doesn't know your eye is getting dry.i got lasik back in 2006 and have never looked back. i do get dry eyes every so often and i just need to make sure to use rewetting drops
My understanding is that what lasik corrects, and what requires reading glasses, are two different problems. Lasik corrects ability to see things far away. Reading glasses are due to something along the lines of a muscle that helps focus your vision close up getting weaker as you age. So I think they are unrelated.You are getting on the tail end of when to get it done.

Correct. But if you wait until late in life to do lasik, then you are back to wearing glasses in a few years. I was lucky and it didn't hit me until I turned 50.My understanding is that what lasik corrects, and what requires reading glasses, are two different problems.
