Im thinking of getting LASIK.. Would I have to go back in a couple of years to redo it??

So much depends on your age and the degree of the refractive error (how nearsighted or farsighted) you are. LASIK does not prevent the age-related decrease in near vision which occurs in the forties (presbyopia). Occasionally patients will need a LASIK enhancement, but this can only be done if the cornea is thick enough to undergo a repeat procedure.
