Surgical vision correction options by Age

18-40

Most people are not usually thrilled to be required to wear glasses or contact lenses to have good vision and the situation is amplified with larger prescriptions as some patients are actually legally blind without their correction. This makes normal daily activities completely dependent on these devices to function, and many look for surgical options that can alleviate the need for correction. At this age range the best option to alleviate need for glasses or contact lenses is going to be laser vision correction. This can be accomplished by undergoing either a LASIK or Advanced surface ablation procedure. Patients must have an evaluation prior to any surgical intervention where your surgeon will discuss the risks and benefits of these procedures and what type of procedure if any would be your best option for vision correction.
