At our age, when everybody has presbyopia, -0.75 or -1.00 are about the best compromise possible, as close as you get to "not needing glasses." -MT, OD >I am aged 50 and have never needed glasses.

I am aged 50 and have never needed glasses. I had an eye test and the
results came out thus
Right -0.75 -0.5 x .75
Left -0.75
Add 1.75

I am told that this means I am not suitable for Lasik surgery.
Thing is , I really don't like to wear glasses - I don't even wear
sunglasses and I live in a very sunny climate.
What options are available to me apart from just accepting slight diff in
reading small print and seeing distance objects more clearly. I certainly
can live with my reduced vision but would consider perhaps contact lenses or
some type of procedure to correct my vision
