Lasik cannot fix muscle related issues, as experienced by over 40 folks that become far sighted, basically we loose our range of focus.

The staring will go away. But the need for additional light when reading seems to stay.

Lasik is truly life changing, especially if you are an athlete
(swimming and soccer both take on a new level of joy). I wore glasses / contacts from age 9 to 39, with very big near-sighted and astigmatism corrections. I am now 20/20 to 20/25 (slightly far-sighted after correction), my wife and sister-in-law were both corrected to 20/15.
