No, I am saying that after about age 50 or so there are other age related changes in the lens in eyes that often times requires reading glasses. A good doctor could give you a lot better explanation. There is a lot of very good information on the web. I researched it for a couple months. If you want I can email you some links with information.

Thanks, I will do a Google on this, again.
My eye sight is good and I only need reading glasses for anything within a couple of feet of me. I have the classic situation of needing reading glasses as you get older. Only use them when on the computer. I have never gotten a straight answer from anyone if lazik will work for people who only need reading glasses.

I found bifocal wrap-around sunglasses at our local supermarket for $20. Work great

most ppl need reading glasses after reaching about 40-45, lasik will not fix the need for reading glasses. my wife is an optican who works for an eye surgeon and she can get lasik for free, she won't because nobody tells you the things that go wrong only the good stuff about it. now ppl who have it and no problems love it, but the ppl with problems oboy. I say beware and do your homework.
And what riding glasses do I wearwally world cocoons 20 bucks. the wife keeps say she will get me some "cool" glasses for riding (yea sure)

Bass pro shop has glasses very similar for $40. The ear pieces are thin and seem comfortable when trying them in the shop. I am trying to make up my mind about going back and getting them.

I am looking to see what I can find for frames that I can have my Rx lenses put into - will have to check some of the links provided.
The other pain with the transition lenses - the brighter it gets, the darker the lenses, the harder to see the GPS!!!

I went in to see if I qualify for lasiks surgery. A free consultation. I was treated like a king while I was in there....they offered me coffee, juice, bottled water a snack.....everything but a filet and a lay. lol Once they tested me and figured out that I'm wasn't a good candidate for the surgery they rushed me out the door like I was a homeless person begging for money. LOL Its funny how unimportant you become when the dollar signs disappear. lol
