(eli5) What’s so Hard about Short Sightedness Surgery?

450 views

Distance vision is easily, routinely fixed with LASIK surgery and can be done without any effect on reading. However, although surgery is possible for short sightedness, getting it ruins distance vision so; they offer this weird option where one eye is for distance and the other for close up.

What is it about short sightedness that makes it so much harder to correct? Is it part of a grand cabal with reading glass manufacturers?!

I was think about getting eye surgery because I am near sighted. But I am now 46 and farsighted has already started. It was recommended not to get surgery or at least not now. Because the surgery would fix the my near sightness which is helping with far sightness. But fixing ine would mean worsening the other.
