My results were just as expected the first year or so . . . I was so delighted!! But then, I noticed that my close-in vision was going bad very fast. Then I noticed my astigmatism coming back. Now, five years post-op, I need glasses again to see clearly, for near and distant vision. If you don't have any astigmatism issues, perhaps this won't be an issue for you . . . but if the astigmatisms just come back, then why bother? I also need Restatis . . . an expensive hassle but at least I am no longer getting eye irritations and infections. I would take my old vision back in a heart beat . . . at least I would not need daily eye drops (which are very expensive) and I could see my food when I eat!
