Age factor for Lasik
I am 32 years old with refractive errors -2.25 on both the eyes. On examining my eyes for Lasik suitability, a little skewness was observed. Doctors informed that it may be due to use of contact lens within 6 months of checkup which I have used. I would like to know whether Lasik is advisable at my age and what are all the complications that I may have to face due to age factor or is it a myth that only teens are suitable for Lasik.
Your 's is not an advanced age
Lasik is quite safe
But you are left with 7to8 years to enjoy full advantage of lasik,after that you will have to use glasses for near.
If you at all are planning to go for lasik then, get the preoperative check up done after discontinuing the contact lens for at least 4to5 wks.
