i am over 40 am have worn glasse since i was 17,i hated them and always wished i could get laser treatment,then in january my mum say's she would pay most of it for me as im a single parent,wot a pressie,i had my surgery 7 months ago and it is fantastic,being in my forties they have said that i will need reading glasses in the future,but my eyes are fine just now,like everyone else the pressure pad is a bit weird feeling,but worth it,i got my eyes done at 1.50,came home and went to sleep on the couch,by 6.00pm my eyes had stopped running and i could watch tv,when i woke up on the sunday morning i looke out of my window and said wow,i could see for miles,only people who have short sightedness will truley understand this fantastic feeling of being able to see the shampoo bottle when in the shower (ha ha,i would recommend it to anyone,it is painless,a little annoying after but only for a little while,my friends have also said it has taken years off me,what a result.
