The length of time results last following LASIK is very patient specific....age, type of prescription being treated, etc
You may or not see 20/20 depending on how it heals. You should be better but may not achieve the perfect target.

After LASIK surgery, many people experience significantly improved vision within the first 24 to 48 hours. However, reaching 20/20 vision can vary from person to person. Some may achieve it within a few days, while for others, it could take several weeks. The full healing process and stabilization of vision can take up to 3 to 6 months. Its important to follow your surgeons post-operative care instructions and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
There is no guarantee you will have 20/20 after LASIK. If you do, it may last a lifetime for distance (not near after your mid 40’s) or you may have partial regression or changes within the eye, in which case your vision may no longer be 20/20.
