I had lasik back in 1999. I was having blood vessels growing in my corneas from wearing the contacts too much. My vision was -6.25 in each eye which meant about 20/600 vision. My vision was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye and I love being able to see in the morning to go to the bathroom etc. But my left eye has gotten blurry in the past few years, especially in the past year. I don't know if it is surgery related but I am continuing to see what the drs say. My diabetes tests have not shown diabetes with an A1C of 5.8 and a bgs of 99 so that theory is knocked down. If you don't have as bad of myopia you may be a better candidate for no mess ups. I have another appointment next week and I will tell you what happens. Am I glad I had lasik..yes..but I only have one usable eye right now and the left is blurred and essentially non usable. Good luck.
