LASIK Blended Vision & Reading Glasses

Nicholas asked:

Hi Dave, my wife had a consultation about having a laser treatment, because she got fed up of wearing varifocal glasses. She was told that she will still have to wear reading glasses, although they will perform the wavefront laser technique. Her age is 55. They said over the age of 45 you might still need reading glasses. What is your opinion on this please?

Hi Nicholas, LASIK blended vision can correct both distance and near vision, and so reduce or eliminate the need for reading glasses. I know of only two clinics that specifically offer LASIK blended vision. Expect to pay around £2000-2300 per eye. If you only want distance corrected, all laser clinics will offer that.
