[LeRoux Strydom]

I had it done in 1997, after wearing glasses for 20+ years for being long-sighted and astigmatic.

I had to have the left eye done a second time shortly afterwards, as the correction was enough. The slight scarring from the second go resulted in slight starring during night driving in the left eye.

I was glasses-free for 13 years, but now that I'm 50+ I have reading glasses again, and for computer work I wear mild corrective contacts (+0.75 left and +1.00 right), but for normal outdoors activities, I good to go without any correction.

I would do it again if I had to, surely the techniques and equipment have improved tremendously over the past 20 years since its invention.

Elegibility for Lasik depends on the shape & thinckness of the cornea, the inner-eye pressure and few other factors.
