Is it ever possible to wear contact lenses after receiving laser surgery i.e. for reading or close up work?

Persons over 40 can lose some up close reading capabilities after laser surgery.
Answer:
Undercorrection is common with the LASIK techniques, about 15% of patients receiving one of the lasik vision correction procedures actually still _require_ contacts for proper correction. The percentage is higher after a few years. Loss of night vision is also common as are visual abberations (Halos, rainbows, doubled objects).So yes, you can. And there's a chance that despite improvement you may still be required to wear glasses or contacts not only to read but also to drive, etc.
Contact lens can be used after laser.
