Does LASIK surgery provide lasting results?
Yes. LASIK surgery creates a permanent change in the shape of the cornea and thus a lasting correction. LASIK surgery does not affect the inner lens of the eye. As part of the process of natural aging the lens tends to lose some of its flexibility. The result is a loss of fine tuned focus and a corresponding difficulty reading small print. Reading glasses may eventually be required after the LASIK procedure as would be the case with the aging of the inner lens of any normal eye.
