WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO HAVE LASER VISION CORRECTION? HOW LONG DOES MY VISION NEED TO BE STABLE BEFORE HAVING SURGERY?
There is no strict age requirement. However, most individuals by the age of 20-21 have reached a point at which their glasses prescription will remain relatively stable. The key to being a good candidate is that your glasses and/or contact lens prescription should be relatively stable. Your vision like all other aspects of your body will change very slowly as you age. Intralasik creates normal vision for your age. You will continue to age normally after your vision is corrected. We have treated patients 18-80+ years of age with LASIK and IntraLASIK.
