LASIK is not just for younger patients. Many older adults in their 40s, 50s, and beyond can benefit from laser vision correction. At Eye Care of East Bay, our experienced, board-certified surgeons provide LASIK tailored to the needs of older patients across Walnut Creek and the East Bay.
Why Older Adults Choose LASIK
As we age, glasses and contacts can become inconvenient, uncomfortable, or limiting. LASIK can reduce dependency on corrective lenses and improve overall quality of life. Even if you have mild presbyopia (age-related difficulty focusing on close objects), LASIK combined with other treatments can provide clearer vision.
Considerations for Older LASIK Patients
Older adults may require additional evaluations to assess eye health, including tests for cataracts, glaucoma, and corneal thickness. Eye Care of East Bay ensures that each patient is a good candidate and provides alternative solutions if LASIK is not the best option.

- Improved independence from glasses and contacts
