Is LASIK Worth It Long Term?
The Long-Term Value of LASIK
One of the most common questions patients ask is: is LASIK worth it long term? The short answer is yes—for most people, LASIK offers not only immediate results but also lasting freedom from corrective lenses and the costs that come with them.
Lasting Vision Correction
For most patients, LASIK delivers stable vision for years. The procedure permanently reshapes the cornea to correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. While age-related changes such as presbyopia may still occur in your 40s or beyond, the correction achieved through LASIK typically remains strong.
Enhancement procedures are rarely needed, but in cases of minor vision shifts over time, touch-ups can often be performed if necessary.
Financial Savings Over Time
One of the clearest indicators of LASIK’s long-term value is cost savings. The average person spends hundreds of dollars annually on glasses, contact lenses, solutions, and eye exams. Over a decade, this can total several thousand dollars. In contrast, LASIK is a one-time investment that often pays for itself in just a few years.
Daily Convenience and Lifestyle Freedom
Beyond the numbers, LASIK offers everyday convenience that patients appreciate long after surgery. No more packing glasses or contacts for travel. No more fogged lenses, dry eyes from contacts, or discomfort during exercise. These small improvements add up to a better quality of life—year after year.
