Im a 20 yr old m that just got LASIK eye surgery will the 20/20 results last or fade?

Extra Terr

I just got lasik done on January 6th 2012 after i turned 20 my vision was very mild nearsightedness (myopia) meaning i couldnt see clearly too far prior to this i had an eye exam with my doctor an the glasses i got felt too strong i couldnt get use to them but he said it was spot on an they didnt up my prescription too much just equalized my eyes because the prescription before was a little weaker in the left eye but my contacts and glasses from three years ago worked perfectly still so my concern was did i get lasik too early or were my eyes basically stabilized i did it this early because i want to join the military and didnt want to have to deal with glasses on my face but now im freakin out wondering if the 20/20 results will stay or fade away in the next couple of years please serious answers only.

Answer
LASIK surgery does not last forever. As you get older, your eyes change. No one can guarantee how long it will last for though. Some people get the surgery and it can last for many, many years. For others, they could go back to wearing glasses/contacts in a few years.

Does lasik eye surgery give you 20/20 vision?

Answer
It can but, it's no guarantee. A lot depends on how strong your prescription is. Sometimes an enhancement needs to be done if the result of Lasik is less than perfect vision. Still, there is no guarantee of getting 20/20 vision. Your vision might not be as good as 20/20 but, it is possible to get even better than 20/20 vision, such as 20/10 for example. Like with any surgical procedure, there is always a risk without a guarantee. Nevertheless, the prognosis for Lasik is good.
