Will I have to wear reading glasses?

After the age of forty, the muscle in the eye that helps focus on reading material or other near objects begins to tire. Reading glasses or bifocals are used to help with near vision. Refractive surgery is only for distance and you will need glasses for near eventually as you age, regardless of having the surgery. People over the age of forty who are near sighted and do not need reading glasses may need them as a result to having the surgery. Some people have a special treatment, monovision, to allow simultaneous focus of both near and far. Talk to Dr. Bosem about that.
