P.S. While LASIK is not approved for patients under age 18, as long as one’s eyes are in good health, there is no upper age limit for the surgery. WHEN LESS LASIK IS MORE Experience has shown that, when it comes to performing laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery on middle-aged patients, less turns out to be more. Doctors who perform this procedure have learned that slightly under-correcting the cornea in older patients seems to compensate for age-related healing. With this in mind, a recent study tested a laser in situ keratomileusis procedure that under-corrected the cornea by about 2% for every 10 years of age in order to compensate for the diminished healing response of those 40 and older. Researchers found that by using this technique, 100% of patients in their 60s ended up with 20/30 vision or better, and 50% of these patients ended up with 20/20 vision or better.
