Best Answer

No. LASIK is routinely performed on individuals who are nearsighted, farsighted, and have astigmatism. For those patients who are approaching middle age and are noticing a change in their near vision (needing over-the-counter or prescription reading glasses), having LASIK will not correct their near vision. There is a modification we can make to the LASIK procedure called monovision which does allow them to see well up close in one eye and see well far away in the other. Hope that helps!
