Relish it or not, you will need bifocals/progressive lenses sooner or later

I wear glasses for distance, and my prescription is such that I don't need readers, because I can look under my (fairly small) glasses - kinda like readers.

While not for everyone (certainly not me), you can do monovision - lasik in one eye - that way one eye sees distance and the other sees close up. Former pres Reagan used contact lenses for that. Again, not for everyone, but you can try it with contacts first.

EmailKid, measuring eyeballs for lasik almost every working day.
