Can LASIK eliminate the need for reading glasses?
Yes and no. The need for reading glasses usually begins between ages 40 to 45, and is caused by a hardening of the natural lens of the eye. This condition is called presbyopia. If you are 40 or older and would like to eliminate glasses for both distance and near there is a technique called monovision. In monovision LASIK, one eye is corrected for distance and the other eye is corrected for near vision.
