While LASIK is FDA-approved for adults 18 and older, we typically recommend waiting until age 21 when vision has fully stabilized. For Hubbard Woods residents considering LASIK, it's important to note that there's no upper age limit, though candidates must have healthy eyes and stable vision.
During your consultation at our downtown Chicago office, Dr. Kraff will evaluate your eye health and vision stability to determine if LASIK is right for you at your current age.
The actual LASIK procedure at our Chicago facility takes approximately 15 minutes per eye, though you should plan to spend about two hours at our office for preparation and initial recovery.
For patients from Hubbard Woods and surrounding neighborhoods, we recommend setting aside a full day to account for travel time and post-procedure rest. The procedure itself is remarkably quick - the laser portion typically lasts only 20-40 seconds per eye and results last for several years.
This is a common concern among our Hubbard Woods patients, but there's no need to worry. Our advanced VISX laser system features sophisticated eye-tracking technology that follows your eye's movements 4,000 times per second. If you move or look away during the procedure, the laser automatically pauses and realigns before continuing. This technology ensures precise treatment placement even with minor eye movements, making the procedure both safe and accurate.
