| Laser eye surgery does not restore your eyes' ability to dynamically change their focus distance. Age will take that away regardless. I have heard of people getting laser surgery where each eye is adjusted differently, one for near distance and one for far. In fact, that is how my eyes worked naturally for many years: I had good close-up vision in and good distance vision in the other. This did let me avoid noticing how my vision was changing for some years, but it meant I was only getting clear focus in one eye and blurry vision in the other. When I got my first computer glasses and I could see the displays with both eyes, it was like night and day. I've also seen references to new procedures that use multifocal implants, so you would essentially have some kind of progressive lenses in your eyes. This sounds terrible for computer use. I don't see how any kind of surgery could give me the usability and flexibility that I have with my progressive glasses and computer glasses. With the computer glasses, all of my displays are in perfect focus with both eyes. And the progressives are perfect for other everyday activities - driving, reading on smaller devices, etc. I like the ability to tune my vision to these different needs. With surgery it seems I would have to pick one or the other. |
