You may be surprised, and relieved, to hear that vision correction is available for almost every age. At BoydVision, we don’t feel it is appropriate to work on patients younger than 19 but there is no age limit when it comes to working on older eyes.
Which Laser Eye Surgery Procedures Am I Suitable For?
Each person is looked at on an individual basis but age isn’t instantly a barrier on any vision correction procedure. You may be suitable for any of these types of laser eye surgery:
– Custom LASIK
– Custom PRK
– Laser Blended Vision Correction
– Cataract Surgery
– Refractive Lens Exchange
– Premium Lens Implant
– Phakic Lens Surgery
Do You Have Many Older Laser Eye Surgery Customers?
Many vision correction procedures are specifically for older eyes. The majority of people will get cataracts at some point in their life – over half of people older than 75 do. Cataract surgery is frequently performed on people in their fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties. People who have had cataracts also often undergo Premium Lens Implant surgery.
Dr Boyd has years of experience treating people of all ages both at BoydVision and also as a staff surgeon at Burnaby General Hospital. He will be able to look at your history and come up with a custom solution to help you. Age is rarely a barrier for laser eye surgery. Other health issues could however be a problem. The primary reason laser eye surgery may not be suitable for a person is if they have not had a steady prescription for at least two years.
