This is one of the most important questions to ask before LASIK, and the honest answer depends on your age. LASIK corrects distance vision permanently, but it does not prevent presbyopia — the age-related condition that causes near vision to blur, typically starting in the mid-40s. If you’re in your 20s or 30s, you likely won’t need reading glasses for many years after LASIK. If you’re already in your 40s or beyond, Dr. Chokshi and Dr. Hasan will have a thorough conversation about your lifestyle and options during the consultation. In some cases, monovision LASIK — where one eye is optimized for distance and one for near — can reduce reading glass dependence. For patients over 50 with significant presbyopia, Custom Lens Replacement may be a better long-term solution than LASIK.
