Eduardo Besser, M.D., Shares Insights on the Best Age for LASIK Eye Surgery in Forbes Interview
In the interview, Dr. Besser emphasizes that while the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandates a minimum age of 18 for LASIK surgery, the ideal age range for the procedure is generally between 25 and 40 years old. "This age range allows individuals to enjoy the benefits of LASIK for many years without the complications that can arise from age-related eye conditions," Dr. Besser explains. He highlights that most people within this age bracket have stabilized vision prescriptions and healthy eyes, making them ideal candidates for the surgery.
Dr. Besser also outlines several key factors for LASIK eligibility, including:
- A stable vision prescription for one to two years
- Healthy corneas with sufficient thickness for LASIK
- Treatable refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
- Absence of active eye diseases or infections
- Overall good health
Dr. Besser advises that while there is no maximum age limit for LASIK, the surgery may not be as effective in older adults due to age-related changes in the eyes. He notes that conditions like presbyopia, which typically occurs after age 40, and cataracts, more common after age 65, can influence the decision to undergo LASIK.
