On target: Your spherical equivalent in the left eye is 0.25, which is not the cause of your close range issues. Use magnifier reading glasses to help your normal presbyopia.

How soon after the surgery? This could change. If you are in the presbyopic age regular reading glasses would help.

Lasik: You have slight amount of residual astigmatism but it should not be significant for your visual function. I would not recommend any further treatment. Your issue at close range is likely due to early presbyopia or loss of near autofocus which occurs as we all age.
