Aging gracefully is an art.
Having your eyes magnified by reading glasses might not be part of aging the way you want.
The most common, but temporary, solution for presbyopia is wearing reading glasses. The most common problem with reading glasses is keeping track of where you left them.
Fortunately, modern technology has given us more options like PresbyLasik and refractive lens exchange. PresbyLasik is similar to LASIK but blended vision is used to achieve near, intermediate and far focus. If you had LASIK years ago PresbyLasik can also give you independence from reading glasses. When cataracts start developing or you are at a more advanced age refractive lens exchange might be a better long-lasting solution for you.
