Are you too old for laser eye surgery?

Hi, it’s Dr. Russell from VSON. When I tell people I’m a SmartSight laser eye surgeon, some ask me: “Am I too old for laser eye surgery?”.

If you are tired of dealing with glasses and contact lenses on a daily basis, laser eye vision correction is a great alternative. Astigmatism, long-sightedness, and short-sightedness are some common eye conditions that can be corrected using laser vision correction.

But what is the right age for laser eye surgery?

Technically, you cannot be too old for laser eye surgery. However, there may be medical reasons that could prevent you from being a suitable candidate. Suitability for laser eye treatment depends on the condition of your eyes and the thickness of the cornea. We’ll discuss factors such as these at your initial assessment.
