I had Lasik surgery about ten years ago and it has been the best money I ever spent on myself. I had a terrible astigmatism. Although my eyes have changed some in the years since the surgery, they have not changed enough that I need to go back to glasses. The most noticeable change I have experienced is with up close vision. I have a hard time reading text if it's closer than a foot from my eyes, but that could just be because I'm 42 years old.

As far as being able to see to shoot, three months ago I qualified on the law enforcement course of fire at the Georgia Police Academy. Ten years ago I would have never been able to do that without glasses.
