While LASIK can be performed on adults 18 and older, the ideal age typically falls between 25-40 years old. At this age range, your vision prescription has typically stabilized, and your eyes are still young enough to ensure optimal healing. Here at Kraff Eye Institute, we carefully evaluate each patient's age-related factors alongside their vision stability and overall eye health to determine the best timing for their procedure.
You can rest assured that blinking during LASIK surgery isn't possible. During your procedure at Kraff Eye Institute, we use a specialized instrument called an eyelid speculum that gently keeps your eyes open. (1) Additionally, numbing drops ensure your comfort throughout the process. The actual laser portion of your procedure takes only seconds per eye, and our advanced eye-tracking technology ensures precise treatment even with small eye movements.
Several factors might affect your LASIK candidacy, including corneal thickness, severe dry eye syndrome, certain autoimmune disorders, or unstable vision prescriptions. However, at Kraff Eye Institute, we conduct thorough evaluations to determine your eligibility and may recommend alternative vision correction procedures if LASIK isn't suitable. Each patient receives a personalized assessment to ensure the safest and most effective treatment path for their unique situation.
