[QUOTE="ON D BIT, post: 15944472, member: 10422"] If she’ll need bifocals soon she has the same questions I did. By having lasik to see at distance her eyes will not be able to focus up close to read. If this is the case after lasik she will need reading glasses right after lasik or in a few years. I came across multiple ophthalmologist that say based on this lasik is not worth as she would still need glasses. I could not read with my perscription glasses and had to take them off to read. With lasik however you simply can’t remove it. My question became, glasses outside and in a few years bifocals or lasik and wearing reading glasses indoors to read. I chose the lasik. With that decision in order help me read longer the doctor only did 90% correction in my non dominant eye. After surgery I currently have 20/20 and I can still read. Something I found that I mentioned above: “The question asked is very appropriate and resonates with me very well. I had Laser Vision Correction performed in 1995, when I was 38. As an Ophthalmologist, knowing full well what happens to our ability to read in our 40's, I opted for my dominant right eye to be treated 100%(giving me 20/20 distance vision) and my left eye to be treated 95%(giving me 20/30 distance vision).
