  > Eyesight doesn't settle, it continues to deteriorate with age Apparently a common pattern, at least for myopia, is for that to stop progressing in the late 30s, but then focussing response to get worse (why people end up needing reading glasses in their 50s-ish.) Certainly that's what I've experienced, and what before I did I was told to expect.

    As you get older, you are more prone to other eye conditions, like AMD, cataracts, and glaucoma. But from what I understand, you won’t have major changes in your prescription, such as what GP is dealing with.

  >your vision will eventually settle when you hit late 30’s This statement reminds me of the surgeon who did my PRK few months ago. He mentioned preferring not doing procedure on candidates who are at least in their mid-20's. I think the person you're replying to probably meant specifically myopia whereas you're referring to presbyopia?

  Since we’re splitting hairs—LASIK doesn’t deteriorate. It’s a procedure. You may be able to go for additional follow ups, but it’s case by case, as there is only so much cornea that can reshaped.
