Permanent or temporary

Does laser eye surgery give a permanent improvement for an older patient (62)in good health who now needs glasses to read.

If you only need glasses for reading then laser eye surgery is not likely to be suitable for you. Laser eye surgery generally corrects people distance vision. There is however a treatment called CK treatment which corrects near vision but it is not permanent.
