To Lasik or not to Lasik?

Here's a question for those who have already had the lasik procedure. Now that you can see distant objects better, do you now find it difficult to read instruments and plates in the cockpit? If so, how do you cope with this?

I can still pass the FAA exam, but admit that my distant vision could use some help at night when I am tired. My close vision is okay for now, although readers help. My worry is, if I get my distant vision permanently fixed by Lasik will I lose my ability to see inside the cockpit without wearing bifocals? What's the fix? What is your experience/suggestions for this problem considering your "20/20 hindsight"?
