Can Laser vision correction eliminate my reading glasses?It is important not to confuse being short or long sighted, which is what Laser surgery is for, with the normal loss of ability to read with age which is called presbyopia. This loss of ability to read usually commences at about age 45 and is "superimposed" on top of your short or long sight. After laser surgery, this presbyopia is still present and cannot be corrected by any known means. There are ways of dealing with it such as "monovision" which is a technique where one eye is adjusted for near and the other for distance. This very important point needs to be carefully discussed prior to your procedure. If you are purely in need of reading glasses and do not have longsight, shortsight or astigmatism then Laser vision correction is not for you. Return
