Do you wear contacts at all? I can read up close just fine with contacts in. With glasses on, I have to remove them to read anything up-close. I have no idea why it makes a difference, but it does.
That said, I have a friend that recently turned 50. He had lasik done when he was in his late 30s. He is just now to the point where he needs reading glasses. He is fighting it as long as he can by refusing to buy reading glasses, holding his phone as far away as possible, and borrowing others' reading glasses when he needs them.
It'd be a tough call for me. If contacts bought me a few more years, I'd go that route.
