I'm your age now. When I had LASIK performed some 6 or 7 years ago, the doctor mentioned that the risk of degradation of my short range vision might actually increase due to the procedure (it hasn't happened yet, though). To my recollection, the doctor said it is currently possible to correct for near vision loss due to presbyopia via LASIK - but it's an all or nothing thing. An eye is either corrected for near vision, or it is corrected for far vision, which means that both eyes will not be able to acheive focus at the same distances; basically, only one will provide sharp focus for near objects, and the other for far objects. Supposedly some patients adapt to this situation, and others do not. Having had LASIK already I was fully prepared to simply get reading glasses when the problem manifests, but these exercises sound promising and I would love that as an alternative. I was so glad to get rid of the glasses, and it would be wonderful to avoid them in the future.
