My Sister had Lasik surgery and is very happy with it.  She is over 60years old.  I believe the rule is you get better results if the problem is not as severe to begin with.  I also read in a magazine of Astronomy that Lasik may be an issue if you're a stargazer using the lenses for telescopes etc.  I'm an inspector and I have to look at extremely small objects under three magnifier lenses.  As of now I'm 'dealing' with my far-sightedness quite well just using glasses as needed.  For sure it's a very personal decision.
