    I don’t see how lasik could possibly be a cost savings. I’ve gotten fairly nice glasses for $150 without insurance. I’ve gotten glasses for less than that with insurance.

    One pair of glasses can last a long time if you take care of them (and if your eyes don’t get worse).

    LASIK isn’t a permanent solution and eventually you’ll need glasses again.

      I didn’t need glasses for 40 years.

      My glasses were costing $500 plus in the 1980s. They needed replacing annually.
