    Lasik didn’t get FDA approval until 1996.

    Before that, it was radial keratotomy.

    I got mine in 1986 and it was effective until 2015 when I started to need bifocals.

    I consider it a success.

      That’s interesting, yours lasted way longer than the people I’ve talked to. I wonder if the procedure was any different.
