Maybe I'm not yet "older"; I'm almost 56 years old. :P
Like I said, I know several people who had the surgery just once, no problems.
Do you have several friends who had the surgery two or three times? Do you know how many years they had between surgeries?

Do you mean the technology of the surgery? Lasik is very different from CI surgery. Lasik surgery just changes the shape of the natural eye. There is no prosthesis involved; nothing is "added". It doesn't replace or bypass any natural functions of the eye.

I have just read the news about a man got blind in one eye from coloured lens and thought I share it with you.
Novelty lens leaves man blind in one eye
Novelty lens leaves man blind in one eye

An Auckland man left blind in one eye after wearing a novelty coloured contact lens has prompted calls for greater regulation over such lenses.
The cornea in one of the 24-year-old's eyes became infected and subsequent treatment and surgery failed to restore sight in the eye, the New Zealand Herald reported.
The case has prompted eye specialists to call for clear instructions on novelty lens use to be required at sale point and restrictions on their sale.
The man, whose cornea was destroyed, had worn the lenses for fun.
He did not need contact lenses or glasses before the incident.
Two emergency corneal transplants were then carried out but he failed to follow instructions to minimise the risk of rejection.
"He's now got an opaque cornea that he can't see out of at all, and has this big white-looking eye like they've got in science fiction movies," corneal specialist Dr Trevor Gray said.
