I was always short-sighted and hated having to wear glasses for driving.
About 15 years ago, in my early forties, the optician said that if I had both eyes lasered I would probably need glasses for reading. He recommended just having one eye lasered for distance vision.
It has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. It took a couple of days to adjust but then my eyes “sorted themselves out” and whichever eye needed to do the most work just took over.
I have never worn glasses since.
Fantastic solution for me (plus the benefit of only half the cost!)
