LASIK will not make your near vision worse. You may need readers one day, but it won't be hastened by LASIK.
Everywhere I read says near vision issues will either possibly or will be more pronounced after full LASIK if your'e over 40-45.

m really torn here. My near vision is fine. My far vision isI' absolute shite.
He's near sighted now. Thats why he can see up close. Once he gets Lasik, he wont be near sighted anymore and will have to focus to see things up close, but wont be able because of his age. You gradually lose focusing ability in your 40-50s . So at 44 years old, he will start needing reading glasses (if not immediatley, then within the next year or 2)

Exactly. I had my LASIK in 2010. Just this year had to get readers because of so much computer time at work. But Doc said the LASIK did its job perfectly. She said eventually we’ll all be needing readers.

This. I have never had LASIK, but I did wear monovision contacts for about 20 years. Now that I'm in my 60s, the variance between the 2 eyes is too much and I have to wear readers. I wish I had done LASIK 20 years ago. You will still probably end up wearing readers at some point in the distance future.

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
