What can be done for the need for reading glasses?

As far as I know - nada.

loss of clear near vision is a result of age, loss of elasticity, hence, loss of ability to refocus or even focus at close range.

I use readers about 40% of the time, and I always use them when I first wake up (Because you aren't focused on anything while sleeping?).

I've had my eyes done twice, way back in the scalpel days, and almost twenty years later by Lasex. Neither was a trauma but the Lasex bordered on being fun.

DO NOT se3ledft your doctor based on price, go with numbers of successful surgeries and reputation/quality of the facility. Sorry, but there are some failures out there, go ahead and pay the added bucks as insurance against any other form of added price.

I think they're using laser for that too. I believe it's called monovision or something like that.

So you had LASIK done for your distance vision? I guess nothing is a quick fix for needing reading glasses. Thanks.
