This is almost certainly referring to seniors who continued to wear corrective lenses but had cataracts hindering their vision, as is extremely common in old age. While LASIK can be an excellent long-term solution for myopia, it is not a preventative measure against cataracts.
- eBombzor 3y agoCataracts are fairly treatable, no?

- MathMonkeyMan 3y agoThey straight up replace the lens of your eyeball with a plastic one, and as result you can often see better than ever, without glasses. That was the outcome for my dad, anyway. My dad's side of the family has eye problems: myopia, glaucoma, detached retina, and wet macular degeneration. Hoping my mom's genes spare me the worst of it.
