How old are you? 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, or beyond?
As you likely know your vision will eventually settle when you hit late 30’s.
Also I assume you have considered LASIK?

Eyesight doesn't settle, it continues to deteriorate with age. Lasik also deteriorates with time, normally becoming noticeable about ten years after the surgery. Lasik providers offer "touch ups" as you get older in order to ameliorate this.
This statement reminds me of the surgeon who did my PRK few months ago. He mentioned preferring not doing procedure on candidates who are at least in their mid-20's. I think the person you're replying to probably meant specifically myopia whereas you're referring to presbyopia?
Apparently a common pattern, at least for myopia, is for that to stop progressing in the late 30s, but then focussing response to get worse (why people end up needing reading glasses in their 50s-ish.)
Certainly that's what I've experienced, and what before I did I was told to expect.
But from what I understand, you won’t have major changes in your prescription, such as what GP is dealing with.
You may be able to go for additional follow ups, but it’s case by case, as there is only so much cornea that can reshaped.
Fantastic advice! A few years later my prescription started to drop and I wear glasses less and less.
If I had LASIK I'd be looking at glasses or more LASIK already.
I do have low prescription inserts for VR because one eye is slightly weaker and I found that more noticeable than IRL.
It’s not nearly as bad as you might think and it only ever comes up during my annual eye exam.
