Because of your age any improvement that you make to your distant vision will make your near vision worse by an equal OR GREATER amount. (robbing Peter to pay Paul).
No matter what you do you will become more dependent on glasses as you age and at some time will use progressive bifocals some or most of the time.

Thank you for the reply. I have the following follup for help.
Can Lasik surgery enhancement make very small improvement in eyesight. My doctor recommends getting one of my eyes enhanced after Lasik. One eye (non dominant one)is 20/25 and I am OK with that but do wish to see better at a distance overall. The other dominant eye is 20/30 at best and does not see at distance well at all but does see up close pretty good.
Can enhancement on the dominant eye fine tune things enough for it to get to 20/20 even though it is already somewhat close at 20/30.
I am considering just leaving things alone but after two months just still can't quite get my brain to understand the monovision I have now. I am beginning to lean to getting goot distance vision in both eyes and just getting some reading glasses for up close vision.
How small of fine tuning can enhancement make? How long does it take to really get used to monovision? I know you can't make diagnosis but any info to help me make a decision would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, JDT

This forum cannot tell you what to do or make a diagnosis. As a generalization given the data your presented I would tend to go with the recommendation to leave things as they are.
