What is the Right Age for LASIK?

While there’s no true set age for LASIK, most doctors will not perform the operation on anyone under 18, as their bodies and their eyes are still developing. While LASIK is a fairly non-invasive procedure, it is recommended that patients are not too young, and the most common age is between 20 and 40.

If you’re considering LASIK but aren’t sure if now is the right time, you may want to speak with Dr. Chris Walton in person. During your free LASIK consultation, Dr. Walton will answer all of your questions carefully and honestly to help you decide whether to move forward with the procedure.
