I did tons of reading and researching before finally having surgery. Lasik corrects vision so that you see well far away for the rest of your life. What it can not do is prevent the normal changes of the eye due to aging. Most people as they get older... 40s, 50s, etc.. need correction for close up things. Those who already wear glasses end up with bifocals. All material on the subject will tell you that you'll likely need reading glasses at some point in your lifetime, but that you won't need glasses to drive, watch tv or a movie, etc.
I've talked to tons of people who've had all versions of corrective vision surgery. Only one person out of at least 50 needed a 'touch up' about 7 years. And that was now 10 years ago.
