I got lasik done when I was 41. That was, uh, some number of years ago. I was seeing at distance - blurred a bit by the drops and the protective plastic lenses - on my way home. No, I didn't drive, but being able to see the road signs on the way home added to the blurriness, if you catch my meaning. It's something I hadn't been able to do since the 5th grade.
Yes, that was a long time ago, and as a relatively early adopter, it cost a lot of money. I've never regretted it, despite the fact that I needed reading glasses immediately thereafter.
