Sorry but lasik has no affect on your eyes focusing abilities.... The reason why a presbyopic person cannot see at near distances is due to the crystalline lens inside their eye that usually changes shape to help focus looses its ability to flex. Lasik has nothing to do with this fact and does not correct presbyopia :) At this moments there are experimental types of laser vision correction for presbyopic patients but they are only available if you are enrolled in a formal study....
It is possible if you already are presbyopic and seeking laser surgery to get a monovision laser correction. This is where they correct one eye for distance and one eye for near... (the same concept for monovision contact lenses)
