    I had bladeless LASIK in 2013, taking my glasses prescription from 20/170 to 20/12.5.

    You read that right, there’s better than 20/20 which is considered perfect. 20/10 is as low as most measurements go. I’m right between 20/10 and 20/15.

    11 years later in my early 40s, my vision hasn’t changed one bit, still seeing better than “perfect”.

    The procedure took less than 5 minutes per eye and I was good to go really the next day.

    It’s the best money I’ve spent on anything in my life and I would do it again a thousand times if I had a thousand chances to choose again. And I have a TON of hobbies.

    If you get evaluated and are a good candidate, go for it! It’s life changing to not have to mess with glasses or contacts, being free to do watersports and winter sports with no hassle.
