  1. PLANMYLASIK LASIK: WHY THERE'S AN AGE REQUIREMENT

  2. INTRODUCTION • LASIK: A popular vision correction surgery • Offers many benefits, but has an age requirement

  3. EYE DEVELOPMENT • Eyes continue to grow and change throughout youth • LASIK on an unstable eye can lead to unpredictable results • Generally not recommended for people under 18

  4. VISION STABILITY • Vision can also change during puberty and early adulthood • Ideal LASIK candidate has stable vision for at least a year • Stable vision ensures long-term effectiveness of LASIK

  5. AGE CONSIDERATIONS • Presbyopia: Age-related near vision loss starting around 40 • LASIK corrects distance vision, not presbyopia • People over 40 might still need glasses after LASIK

  6. PRE-EXISTING EYE CONDITIONS • Cataracts and other eye issues can affect LASIK results • LASIK is not recommended for people with severe eye conditions • Doctors carefully assess older patients for candidacy

  7. OVERALL HEALTH MEDICATIONS • Some medications can affect eyes and healing • Older adults are more likely to be on medications • Doctor needs to be aware of all medications for proper evaluation • General health plays a role in LASIK outcome • Certain medical conditions can impact healing • Both young and old adults need to be in good health

  8. Mental Readiness • Understanding LASIK is crucial for realistic expectations • Younger patients might have different expectations than older ones • LASIK is not a miracle cure, it has risks and benefits

  9. Emotional Maturity • LASIK is a surgery and can be a stressful experience • Patients need to be emotionally mature to handle the process • Younger adults might not be as prepared as older adults
