Presbyopia normal: This is normal. As we get older we gradually lose our ability to focus on things closer to us. Our "near vision"- this loss is called presbyopia. It is corrected by adding a "close up" refraction to your glasses- for reading called "an add.".

About right.: Your question is not clear. But if you had lasik for nearsightedness and both eyes are fixed for distance at your age you would need reading glasses. Usually a +1.25 is enough for your age. Try them at a thrift store go with the least number you can comfortably read at 16 inches.
