There are several errors here. When the eye ages, the lens stiffens, effectively decreasing the focal range. For nearsightdness, Lasik alters the cornea and moves the relaxed focal distance outward. It's possible that a nearsighted person wouldn't need reading glasses even as their focal range decreases, but would after Lasik.

I’d love to see peer reviewed large group study for it. Plenty of claims, and never seen actual evidence. There may be some, I’m open minded.

I think bad to the years before lasik and remember the thousands of pairs of readers I saw older people with.
