Am I a good candidate for Lasik surgery? Far sighted male at 53 yo. What results should I expect?

I hear lots of both good and bad about Lasik procedure. I am 53 and always had good focal vision until it began to faulter about 5 years ago. I noticed the past year that my blurred vision is progressing at an increased rate. (I figure this due to the way our eye shape changes as we age) If I get a Lasik now and my eye shape continues to change, won't I just wind up with blurred vision all over again? Can anyone please explain this whole Lasik thing in regard to RISKS, SUCCESS RATES AND AVERAGE EXPECTED RESULTS? I don't need to have the procedure itself explained, as I think I am aware of that for the most part. As said, I am 53, far sightedness is very good. Currently, my vision begins to blur at about 5 feet if that even matters. Whereas I could once read a newspaper if held it away from myself at arms length, now, I can no longer read a newspaper without readers of at least 1.25 or 1.50 magnification. I hate glasses for an endless list of reasons why. Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks so very much. Petey
