There are many different options to correct presbyopia. First, there are a few drops on the market that can help. Then you can try making your nondominant eye into an eye that focuses up close. This can be done by LASIK surgery or PRK. You could get lens replacement surgery like cataract surgery without a cataract and the new lenses available could give you reading ability. Each patient is different and has different visual needs You need the surgery tailored for yourself A reputable ophthalmologist could get you started in the right direction.
PResbyopia is not best treated by surgery. There are LASIK and RF procedures that mwy give you some short term relief, but in the long run, it is lot of money to spend, for a correction that is not complete, and will seem to fade as your presbyopia worsens naturally with age.=20 If you really want a surgical solution, at this point, when your cataracts are ready, you can get an EDOF or Multifocal implant, which will give you decent vision at most distances.
There are a few options for presbyopia including monovision LASIK, corneal inlays, refractive lens exchange, as well as non-surgical options including bifocal contact lenses or glasses. Before any decisions are considered, you should have your eyes examined in order to know what your actual prescription is in respect to your actual nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism that may be present. This will allow you and the refractive surgeon to determine what your actual options are. And you need pachymetry done which measures your corneal thickness, you need your intraocular pressures measured, and you need a dilated retinal examination.

Good luck and best wishes.
You could go for mono vision LASIK or PRK. If you have cataract and qualify for surgery, then premium or advanced lenses are your options.
