I had both eyes done 22 years ago (radial keratonomy) before they had Lasix. Then they would cut a small incision in your eye. I had farsightedness and wore contacts and glasses. It cost $2,000 for each eye. I had excellent results in 3 days. I still have very good vision but can't see very small print but have started wearing reading classes occasionally. I am now 53 years old an in menopause 

 so I would have needed the glasses anyway. I recommend it to everyone but it sounds like not everyone has been as fortunate as I was. Good Luck. I went to the Woodham eye clinic in Atlanta and he was one of the first doctors to perform this surgery.
