Not to rain on this parade, but any medical procedure has positives and negatives.
Prior to Lasik, I was extremely near-sighted, but had developed presbyopia as I became older. Since I could only see clearly in a range of 0-6" from my nose, the effect of presbyopia moving the focal range to 1-7" from my nose was not noticeable.
Lasik changes the focal length of the eyes outward. In my case, the focal range is 24"-infinity. Yep, I now need reading glasses. Shooting a pistol, a scoped rifle, or a rifle with peep sights is marvelous. Rifles with open sights can be a problem if the rear sight is closer than 24".
