Sick of the Reading Glasses? How LASIK Can Help You See Clearly Up Close Again

If you find yourself constantly reaching for reading glasses — whether checking a text, browsing a menu or flipping through a book — you’re not alone. As we age, our near vision naturally declines due to a condition called presbyopia, making everyday tasks more difficult. 

Not to worry, there’s good news: Monovision LASIK, offered at Lake Lazer Eye Center, can free you from the hassle of readers and bifocals so you can enjoy life with greater ease.

Why do reading glasses become necessary?

Over time, the lens in the eye loses flexibility, making it harder to focus on objects up close. Many people compensate by moving reading material farther away or using reading glasses and bifocals, but these fixes can feel limiting. Whether enjoying a summer outing, playing sports or simply dining out, switching between glasses for near and distant vision can disrupt many of life’s moments.

Monovision LASIK: A Solution for Clear Vision at Different Distances

Instead of juggling multiple pairs of glasses, Monovision LASIK offers a streamlined approach to vision correction. This procedure can adjust one eye for sharp distance vision and the other eye for improved near vision. The brain naturally adapts, allowing most patients to enjoy seamless vision without the need for readers.

At Lake Lazer Eye Center, Dr. Khambati has performed this specialized LASIK treatment for thousands of patients, helping them regain their independence from “cheater readers” and bifocals.

The Benefits of LASIK for Near Vision

Imagine walking into a restaurant and instantly reading the menu without searching for your glasses or stretching your arms as far as they’ll go. Or picture relaxing by the pool with a book — no bifocals needed. Monovision LASIK helps eliminate the frustration of switching between lenses for reading and the occasional frisbee toss, creating a more effortless lifestyle.

Some key advantages include:

1. Freedom – No more carrying reading glasses everywhere.

2. Convenience – Read text messages, check receipts and enjoy hobbies without reaching for bifocals.

3. Confidence – Enjoy smooth interactions without fumbling for glasses.

4. Savings – Reduce long-term expenses by eliminating the need for multiple prescriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How long does it take for my eyes to adjust to Monovision LASIK?

The brain typically adapts within a few weeks, making the transition smooth for most people. 

Can I test Monovision with contacts before committing to LASIK?

Yes. Many patients try Monovision contact lenses beforehand to see how their eyes adjust. Most people find their eyes and brain adapt quickly, and viewing the world through Monovision lenses rapidly becomes second nature.

Is Monovision LASIK permanent?

Yes, the procedure reshapes the cornea permanently. Age-related vision changes such as cataracts may still develop over time, but those can be addressed separately.

How soon can I return to normal activities after Monovision LASIK?

Most patients resume work and other daily routines within a day or two following the procedure. Your surgeon will provide you with individual guidance before and after the procedure.
