I just had a Lasik consultation. I'm seriously considering it as my insurance pays for 80% of the surgery. Anyone gone down that road?

Something you may want to check with your own ophthalmologist on, but I was told that once Lasik is done, cataract surgery (lens replacement) is not likely to be as successful as it would be had Lasik not been done. As I recall, Lasik inhibits the ability to make accurate measurements for the implants. My wife was considering Lasik and my Dr. told her not to because she is at the age that cataracts are more likely, if she ever did get them, she would have a lot of trouble with the implant selection, and would still require a great deal of correction via glasses. I suppose if one is young enough, Lasik may be a viable option. I would at least check it out, because once done, it can't be undone. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best. Crappy eyesight sucks.
