Laser eye surgery, risks/pros & cons of. Please read all of this so I can get the best info.?


Question:
I have trifocal vision, an astigmatism, am nearsighted, 55 yrs. old, and fed up with glasses.

I talked with someone who said it's not guaranteed I'll have normal vision after the procedure, and still might have to wear glasses of some sort. Only for reading I could deal with but not glasses I'd have to wear all the time. It would defeat the purpose.

I will research this more, yet hoped for input from someone who's had laser surgery with vision simular or the same as (trifocal) mine. From the horses mouth so to speak. Are there any optometrists who might be online who can advise? Knowledgeable or experienced answers please.
Thanks!!!

Answers:
Go to a reputable place. I went to a university affiliated place and they were honest enough to tell me I didn't qualify because I didn't have enough corneal tissue to work with. I fear other places would have went ahead with the surgery.

Usually at 55, I think you'd only get one eye done. Ask about the corneal rings also. There are other options coming out every year or so
I saw a report on a lady who had it done and now her eyes feel link sand paper when she blinks
