I was told I was too old to have Lasik Eye Surgery. I was 42 at the time. How old is too old for lasik? I've heard of people having it done at a later age but my eye doctor said it would be a waste of time because as you get older you need reading glasses (I'm far sighted). I was just shocked that they said I couldn't have it done. Anyone older than 42 have lasik done and everything okay?
