LASIK surgery in Destin is one of the most sought after eye procedures among middle aged adults and older adults in the area because of the efficient and excellent results. LASIK requires an eye examination for every patient, ensuring that there are no existing conditions that could affect the outcome of the procedure. One of the factors assessed by Dr. Charles Williamson, ophthalmologist at Wells Vision and Laser Eye Center, is the patient’s age. The patients must be 18 years and above to qualify as a candidate for LASIK surgery.
 
Since people who qualify for LASIK include mostly millennials, many are curious if there are any differences if the surgery is done in early adulthood than having it as a middle aged adult. Through a comprehensive eye exam, candidacy for LASIK would be determined and any contraindications would be detected. The question that young adults pose today is: is it worth it to undergo LASIK at our age?
