Can I Have LASIK After the Age of 40?

< Back to FAQ

Yes. You can have LASIK after the age of 40.

One of the factors we will discuss with you is presbyopia, one of the most common age-related changes to the eyes. Presbyopia, which usually occurs in the early to mid-40’s is when the lens in the eye becomes less elastic and can no longer change shape to bring close things into focus clearly. (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/presbyopia/symptoms-causes/syc-20363328)

This happens to almost everyone and may result in the need for reading glasses or lenses as you age. Presbyopia can be treated non-surgically and surgically.

If you are in this age group, during your consultation we will show you options so that you may not require reading glasses.
