> As both Presbyopia and Cataracts come for us all, it is generally not advisable to do laser eye surgery once the former has set in. I had a conversation with my ophthalmologist about this. She said the same thing. Then I said, I don't understand, right now I have to wear glasses for far vision and glasses for near and mid vision. If I got the surgery, I would still be presbyopic, but I wouldn't need glasses for far vision, only for near vision? and she said yes. So I said, that sounds like in improvement. What's the catch? She said it's mostly a matter of expectation. People think that LASIK means they don't have to wear glasses again, period. But I keep hearing this, so I'm wondering if there's something more to it that she didn't explain? Is there some other disadvantage?
