What are the age limits of vision correction?
You’ve probably heard a lot of mixed messages on social media, or from others, about whether you’re too old or too young for laser eye treatment.
While age is a factor, the more important consideration is the stability of your prescription and the goals you’re hoping to achieve with vision correction. In fact, many people choose to get surgery early in life because they want to enjoy the benefits of vision without glasses for as long as possible.1Saragoussi JJ, et al. Quality of life after LASIK: part II. Quality of life and satisfaction of a population of patients treated with LASIK [in French]. J Fr Ophtalmol. 2011;34:294–302.
When you get to 40-50 years of age, you’ll notice a change in your eyes whether you have laser eye surgery or not. For this group, we have alternative vision correction solutions, like lens replacement, that will help them to get out of reading glasses and avoid getting cataracts.2Sophia Y. Wang et al.

Hi, I’m Dr Aanchal Gupta, a specialist laser eye and cataract surgeon in Adelaide.
For more than 15 years, I have had the privilege of helping thousands of patients achieve clearer vision and greater freedom from glasses and contact lenses, having performed more than 15,000 eye procedures.
Vision correction requires precision, experience and sound clinical judgement. Achieving consistently excellent outcomes depends not only on advanced technology, but also on the expertise of the surgeon using it.
I understand that choosing eye surgery is an important decision. Every person’s eyes—and visual needs—are different, so treatment should be carefully tailored to your eye health, lifestyle and goals.
Your complimentary initial assessment is an opportunity to explore your suitability, learn about the options available and have your questions answered without obligation.
I look forward to welcoming you to IVISION LASER in Adelaide and helping you discover what may be possible for your vision.
