It should last you many many years. Way in the future, you will need reading glasses, and then many years from then, when you get cataracts, your prescription can change as the cataracts develop.

After you are stable from LASIK, you will be stable till about age 40 when you will start to need reading glasses. The reading glasses will gradually get stronger. Then at about 60 to 70 years old, cataracts will likely develop and that will change your need for glasses.
For most patients the benefits from LASIK lasts until the natural lens inside the eye starts to stiffen around 40-45( this is the normal loss of near vision called “presbyopia”)
It should last for many years unless you get a regression
