Because our eyes change as we age, the type of laser eye surgery or other vision correction we need also may change. Certain approaches to LASIK or other procedures that work well for younger adults, for example, may be inappropriate for older individuals.
In some cases, vision correction surgery may be ruled out entirely. Children under age 18 rarely would be considered candidates for laser vision correction because their eyes change too rapidly as their bodies grow and mature.

Generally speaking, however, people in their 20s or 30s with mild to moderate farsightedness, nearsightedness, and/or astigmatism are usually excellent candidates for LASIK, PRK, Visian ICL, and other laser vision correction. Severex-Severe_Vision_Errors_and_Corrective_EySevere Vision Errors

Vision Correction for Severe Nearsightedness or Farsightedness. LASIK, PRK and other laser vision correction procedures do have their limitations and may not be the best option for you if you have severe nearsightedness or farsightedness.

Particularly if you are older than 40, you also might need to consider multiple vision correction solutions to achieve the very best possible vision for your age and lifestyle. For instance, you might choose LASIK or PRK in your 30s to correct distance vision. Then, when you reach your mid-40s and your near vision is affected by presbyopia, you might follow up with an "enhancement" using conductive keratoplasty. With CK in one eye, you may be able to sharpen near vision blurriness caused by the age-related condition of presbyopia.
Most eye surgeons will tell you it's unlikely that any vision correction procedure can give you permanent, optimal vision for a lifetime. Just as you probably needed to change out eyeglasses and contact lenses in the past, you very likely will need a LASIK enhancement or other surgical correction as you grow older, to maintain good vision.

Because our eyes change as we age, the type of laser eye surgery or other vision correction we need also may change. Certain approaches to LASIK or other procedures that work well for younger adults, for example, may be inappropriate for older individuals.
In some cases, vision correction surgery may be ruled out entirely. Children under age 18 rarely would be considered candidates for laser vision correction because their eyes change too rapidly as their bodies grow and mature.
Also, some people have certain conditions or diseases that would make them poor candidates for certain vision correction procedures and better candidates for other procedures. Examples:
If you have diabetes or other diseases that affect wound healing, you might be a better candidate for PRK or LASEK than certain types of LASIK.
If you have thin corneas, PRK, LASEK, or implantation of the Visian ICL or Verisyse lens are examples of procedures that may be more appropriate for you than LASIK.
Keep in mind that, generally, anyone who is pregnant should not undergo any form of elective vision surgery, because hormonal changes might affect the treatment's accuracy.
Lifestyle also can make a big difference in the type of vision correction you need. A seamstress requires keen near vision. Computer users need good vision at intermediate ranges. And a pilot needs to preserve depth perception to make good spatially oriented judgments while flying.
Generally speaking, however, people in their 20s or 30s with mild to moderate farsightedness, nearsightedness, and/or astigmatism are usually excellent candidates for LASIK, PRK, Visian ICL, and other laser vision correction.
Severe Vision Errors and Corrective Eye Surgery for Older People
If you are 40 or older or have severe vision problems, you may want to discuss these options with your eye surgeon:
Monovision. With this approach, LASIK may be used to correct one eye for distance vision and the other eye for near vision as a solution for presbyopia, a focusing problem that affects all people beginning at around age 40.
However, some people cannot adjust to monovision. You might first consider wearing contact lenses providing monovision or trying it with "trial lenses" in your doctor's office, to make sure this approach works for you.
CK also provides a type of monovision, but with a more full range of vision in the corrected eye.
Examples of multifocal and accommodating intraocular lenses for cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange include (top, from left) the AcrySof IQ ReSTOR (Alcon),ReZoom (Abbott Medical Optics or AMO) and Crystalens (Bausch & Lomb). At bottom is the Tecnis (AMO).
**Multifocal or Accommodating IOLs**. If you choose this type of lens for a refractive lens exchange or cataract surgery, your eye's natural lens will be replaced permanently.
These artificial lenses potentially can restore a full range of vision, but can also produce side effects such as decreased depth perception or night vision problems in the form of halos or glare.
Also, you may still need to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses or have a "laser touch-up," because it's possible the lenses will fall short of restoring a full range of vision. Be sure and discuss the pros and cons of these new lenses with your eye surgeon.
Vision Correction for Severe Nearsightedness or Farsightedness. LASIK, PRK and other laser vision correction procedures do have their limitations and may not be the best option for you if you have severe nearsightedness or farsightedness. Some eye surgeons consider implantable lenses (Visian ICL and Verisyse) the best option for extreme nearsightedness.
Refractive lens exchange, in which the eye's natural lens is replaced with an artificial one, is a possible option for extreme farsightedness.
Particularly if you are older than 40, you also might need to consider multiple vision correction solutions to achieve the very best possible vision for your age and lifestyle. For instance, you might choose LASIK or PRK in your 30s to correct distance vision. Then, when you reach your mid-40s and your near vision is affected by presbyopia, you might follow up with an "enhancement" using conductive keratoplasty.

Just as you probably needed to change out eyeglasses and contact lenses in the past, you very likely will need a LASIK enhancement or other surgical correction as you grow older, to maintain good vision.
Also, keep in mind that all vision correction procedures have the usually slight risk of side effects that can range from mild to severe. So be sure you discuss all options and potential risks in detail with your eye surgeon or eye care provider before making any final choices.

TOP TOP TOP TOP TOP TOP TOPTOP TOP LASEK(Laser-assisted sub-epithelial keratomiluesis) is a more recent addition to the refractive repertoire. For some patients, the density of their corneal tissue is less than others, and in these cases, a procedure like LASEK or PRK (Photo-refractive keratectomy) would be beneficial, as they produce the same result but do not require as much tissue removal as the LASIK procedure. LASEK is essentially the same procedure as LASIK except that a thinner surface epithelial flap is created rather than a thicker corneal protective flap.A surgeon may choose LASEK as a means of minimizing the amount of tissue utilized in the flap, thereby leaving a denser bed of tissue intact, underneath the flap. There is no need for the microkeratome as the flap is created through the use of chemicals that break down bonds between layers of tissue. The excimer laser ablation portion of the LASEK surgery is the same as the other surgeries such as LASIK or PRK. Upon completion of the LASEK ablation, the thinner flap is repositioned and a protective shield is applied.In most cases, LASEK is only applied to one eye at a time. The recovery time is longer than with LASIK, but much shorter than PRK. This procedure is useful for patients with thinner corneas who may not have been LASIK candidates in the past as well as patients particularly concerned about the formation of a protective corneal flap. PRK,(photo refractive keratectomy) is a predecessor of the popular LASIK procedure.The quick recovery and relative painlessness of LASIK allowed it to become the surgery of choice for refractive surgeons. However, PRK remains a highly effective procedure for many patients with epithelial problems that are not conducive to the creation of a good flap either chemically or mechanically. The epithelial tissue is manually scraped away by the surgeon, or in some cases removed by the laser itself. This procedure, like LASEK, is generally performed on one eye at a time and has the longest recovery time of the refractive procedures.The side-effects and complications to both PRK and LASEK are similar to that with LASIK and need to be addressed with the same level of concern. However there is an extended recovery time with these alternatives and usually require more post operative visits to the clinic and the inconvenience of doing one eye at a time. INTRAOCULAR LENS IMPLANTS This procedure is essentially the same as that of cataract extraction with placement of a clear intraocular lens implant.Upon surgical removal of the lens, a clear intraocular lens implant is placed to provide clearer vision. With clear lens extraction, the procedure is essentially the same however, the natural lens is clear and not cloudy. This procedure is particularly effective with high levels of refractive error, especially hyperopia (farsightedness). CK(Conductive Keratoplasty) or CK is the application of radiofrequency energy in a circular pattern along the periphery of the cornea. The theory suggests the heat energy shrinks the corneal tissue, thereby steepening the cornea, and temporarily reducing farsightedness. This procedure is utilized by a very limited number of surgeons and the available data on applications and results remain scarce at this time. SPECTACLES or CONTACT LENSES Glasses and contact lenses are certainly alternatives to refractive surgery.
