Conversation so far:
What is a good age to get LASIK?
Generally, the perfect candidate for LASIK is someone between the ages of 20 and 40.
Give me a short description of the LASIK procedure.
During LASIK eye surgery, an eye surgeon creates a flap in the cornea (A) — the transparent, dome-shaped surface of the eye that accounts for a large part of the eye's bending or refracting power. Then the surgeon uses a laser (B) to reshape the cornea, which corrects the refraction problems in the eye (C).
What are the benefits of LASIK?
Improved vision. Studies have shown that about 95% of patients who receive LASIK surgery achieve uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of at least 20/40 and 85% achieve 20/20 vision or better.
What are the risks of LASIK?
Dry eyes, glare, halos, and starbursts are all possible side effects of LASIK surgery.
Describe experiences of some people who have done LASIK.
Many developed symptoms within six months, such as seeing starbursts (30.3 percent), halos (26.2 percent), and double images (5.2 percent)
Are there any good alternatives to LASIK?
LASEK (laser-assisted subepithelial keratomileusis): While LASIK focuses on corneal sculpting, LASEK focuses on the very top layer, or epithelium, of the cornea.
What is the success rate of LASIK?
The latest research reports 99 percent of patients achieve better than 20/40 vision and more than 90 percent achieve 20/20 or better. In addition, LASIK has an unprecedented 96 percent patient satisfaction rate – the highest of any elective procedure.
Once LASIK is done, what kind of precautions do I need to take?
1 to 2 weeks post LASIK: You can usually begin exercising within a week after LASIK surgery, but you should continue to avoid contact sports for at least a month. Wear sunglasses when out in the sun to protect your eyes from the ultraviolet light, and use the provided eye drops to minimize dry eyes.

Question: Does the effect wear off with age?
