laser eye surgery glasses

If laser eye surgery is as good as it is touted to be, why do most eye doctors still wear glasses or contacts?

I checked into laser surgery when I was in my late 30s. My doctor said that, laser correction will correct for the conditions at the time of the surgery. If you are young, it can be a good thing. However, about age 40 or so, presbyopia (old vision) starts setting in. I went from single vision glasses to bifocal contacts at 40, my wife started wearing glasses for the first time in her life at 42. So, if you get laser correction, you will be good for a while, but after about age 40 you will eventually need glasses or contacts as your eyes continue to age.

So, how old were the doctors?
