Eventually you will: It might not be until later, but eventually you will need readers.

Lasik: If you have both eyes for distance, you will likely need reading glasses at age 45-50 years. If you have a monovision treatment initially or as a touchup, this can be avoided.

Yes/no: If you are nearsighted & only have Lasik on one eye, you can put off the need for reading glasses for a while. In this case your brain selects out the Lasik eye to gain distance focus and the untreated eye for near vision. Eventually, if you live long enough you would need readers. That is unless they come up with a fix for that as well.
