Doc I just took my son to had an interesting perspective on nearsightedness. I always thought it was hereditary. He claims that it has more to do with how much the eyes are used for close work. I read tons as a kid and teenager. That's when my eyes started getting bad. More reading in college then on to computers, etc.

There may be truth to that, I didn't need them until my second year of lawschool....did wads of reading my first year.
Part of me has always blamed that on needing glasses in the first place. Sometimes I resented even going because of it. My mom thinks it had nothing to do with my vision, but I'll never know.... I was fine in undergrad...didn't read too much then.
as far as what happens later in life...you don't have to keep doing surgeries if it concerns you...I guess you could revert back to wearing glasses if the vision changes later and eliminate the risk that concerns you if it does go bad again.
I just turned 30 this year...I just want to roll through my 30's without them...if that's all I get...I'll be happy. Glasses always made me feel older than I was, and I am still a pretty young pup.
