a co-worker of my father got lasik when he was 29~ perfect vision until he hit 36~ when he noticed he was becoming far sighted and needed reading glasses

Bullshit, he needs to go back and have a touch up done on his eyes that any self respecting doctor should include because they fucked up.

I know many people over and under 30 that have gotten it and a few have had some problems, so they get a follow up and the doctor fixes the mostake and off they go.

I got my contacts christmas eve. Now it's nothing putting them in and out. I have glasses too, but i hate having them on as any pair i tried on were uncomfortable compared to contacts.
