LASIK does not stop the cause of your eyeball changing shape, therefore you will not have 20/20 for life. It will continue to degenerate at the same rate it was prior to surgery. I say this only because my optometrist told me this. I don't know enough about eyes to come that conclusion on my own, but I was under the same misimpression you have before then.
