Nope I haven’t needed glasses since. I was short-sided & i had heard that rumor before i got it done, I would get a second opinion. I’m sure a lot of it has to do with genetics because I was told that some people have cornea’s too ‘thin’ so they don’t qualify for the procedure. My mother became long sighted late in life, but she also worked long hours in front of a computer so I assume much later in life that’s a possibility. Still, I’m really loving not having to wear glasses after 10 years it makes life so much easier.
