Does LASIK make you need reading glasses?
Hi, it’s Matt Russell from VSON Laser Vision Specialists. One of the myths surrounding LASIK is that it makes you need reading glasses.
LASIK surgery will not cause you to need reading glasses, contrary to misconceptions. People over 40, regardless of whether or not they’ve had LASIK, tend to require reading glasses as a natural result of presbyopic ocular aging. So if you wear reading glasses, you should keep them on hand after your LASIK procedure.
The good news is, if you’ve had LASIK surgery but your eyes are experiencing the negative effects of ageing, you can still be an excellent candidate for lens replacement or presbyond so that you can be free from reading glasses or bifocals.
To learn more about LASIK and which laser eye surgery treatment is best for you to free yourself from the hassle of glasses and contact lenses, please book online for a free laser vision assessment on our website today.
