I had it done about 6 years ago and am now back in glasses since February. It was great while it lasted. I've been in readers for maybe 3 years. Not sure if it would have made a difference at the time, but I was unaware that it can cause cataracts and the new multi-focal lens replacement is not an option if you've had lasik. I have the early stages of a cataract and I'm only 51.
