Wait until you hit 40. My vision has always been farsighted and got a teency bit worse every couple years. After the last visit it had gotten better. I thought I was doing something right until the doc said "yeah, well, you're getting older and that's when you start to get nearsighted". I was a little depressed after that visit.
My Dad started wearing hard contacts in the 60s when they first came out. When he switched to gas permeable and then soft he went though about a dozen prescriptions because his eyeballs changed shape. When he got laser correction his package included repeat procedures if his vision changed enough within the first year. I believe he had to have one eye done again.
So it doesn't completely eliminate the need for glasses, ever. But for most people I know who have had it done, they don't need them except for reading when you get to be an old codger
