The truth is that LASIK effectively treats farsightedness, a refractive error that results in blurry near vision and the need for reading glasses. LASIK, in its traditional form, does not treat presbyopia, an age-related condition that also causes blurry near vision and the need for reading glasses. To find out if you will likely need reading glasses after LASIK, contact our Washington, DC practice to schedule a LASIK evaluation.
