At the Rochester Eye and Laser Center, we want to let you in on a little secret: LASIK saves time. How long does it take you to put in contact lenses? Contacts are a waste of time. Don’t believe us? See for yourself how much time you may be wasting.

When is Someone Too Young or Too Old to Have LASIK?

LASIK is FDA-approved for those 18 and older. Dr. Lindahl encourages young patients to wait until they are 21, when a person’s prescription stops changing. Having a stable prescription for at least two years is required before anyone, young or old, is deemed a good LASIK candidate.
