If possible, it's a good idea to get an annual eye exam, especially as you get older. I started to wear glasses with a light correction in my late twenties. I got lasik surgery just for one eye right before I turned forty. For my age and circumstance they told me it should hold for about seven years and then I might need a revision or glasses again.

It's been about ten years and I'm going to check back with them this year because I need a slight correction again. Everyone's eyes are different but it's important to keep up on health check ups especially once you get out of your twenties. So many of my friends had the lasik procedure done before I did, so I went for it and was glad I did.
