The bulk of refractive laser surgery patients are middle aged or older. This is partially due to increasing vision problems as the human body ages, but also because they generally make the most ideal patients. After all, the eyes have stopped changing by middle age, and eye stability is one of the foremost requirements for most types of refractive laser procedures.

One of the most common reasons older individuals pursue refractive laser surgery is to improve myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness). While there have been many success stories of older individuals who have received laser vision surgery, it is still important that you discuss the current state of your health with your ophthalmologist. Many older patients with vision problems also have eye diseases, like glaucoma or diabetes, both of which could compromise the results of refractive laser surgery.
