I started wearing reading glasses in my 40’s. Can LASIK help me?

Frequently Asked Eye Surgery Questions - LaserView Vision Co...
Unfortunately, the answer is usually no. Difficulty reading after the age of 40 is typically due to a hardening of the lens inside of the eye. LASIK is designed to correct nearsightedness and astigmatism by changing the shape of the outer surface of the eye. This change in shape does nothing to help or harm the flexibility of the lens, thus presbyopia (difficulty reading) is neither improved nor diminished.
