“Is it worth getting Lasik after 40?”

Most LASIK candidates will correct both eyes so that you can improve your distance vision; however, your near/up close vision will not change. So if you are currently wearing reading glasses to help you see better at near, having LASIK will still require to wear reading glasses at near. There's also monovision LASIK where one eye is corrected to see far while the other eye is corrected to see at near; however, your depth perception would be severely affected. If you are interested in LASIK, I would recommend seeking a qualified eye care professional to see if you are an ideal candidate for LASIK and what your options are. Personally, I don't recommend my patients who are over 40 years old and require reading glasses to have LASIK procedure, since they will still need to wear glasses up close.

You will need reading glasses for everything up close pretty much immediately, so you have to weigh what you do most into your decision. For example, if most of what you do involves looking at distances of 20 feet or greater (such as a truck driver), great! Get LASIK. If you are on the computer all day long in an office...you will need glasses for near work all day long, so it is not worth it.

It depends. It depends on your current prescription and lifestyle. How much outdoor activity and computer / near work you do. Best person to discuss is your eye doctor.

Not really ! You will have reading problems .

No, because if you correct the distance vision, you will need reading glasses immediately. Unless you do monovision correction. However your vision experience may not be comfortable,

Yes but keep in mind you will probably need glasses for reading
