LASIK will not make your near vision worse.
It certainly did for me. Granted, it's only for extremely close vision (within a few inches from my face) but it is 100% worse and it was not like that before. If you need to hold something up to your face and read some small text, forget about it.
My normal near vision is the same (was perfect before), far vision is much better. Best $3300 I've ever spent and would do it again in a heartbeat

I'm on my phone a fair amount and work from home on a computer. My concern with full distance LASIK is needing readers basically all the time for work and being on my phone. But like you said, it's not like either of those exercises ever has me looking at a screen right in my face.
Going with the monovision LASIK but this does give me hope if I do need to do the 2nd eye, that I won't just need the readers all the time like I fear.

The one thing Lasik screwed up for me is my contrast sensitivity. In a poorly lit area, like a dark restaurant, it's darker and worse for me than before the procedure. On the flip side, it's brighter on a sunny day than before -- to the point that I absolutely need sunglasses. That said, I would do it again. Those troubles are no worse than what I had to deal with in glasses and contacts. Outside on a nice day is like a high-def TV for me. I do still get a bit of dry eye, though.
