New study: LASIK safe for 40-69 year olds

Research performed at the University of Illinois at Chicago showed no significant difference in levels of safety experienced by patients whose ages ranged from 40 - 69 years old.

Dr. Dimitri Azar co-authored the study based on 710 consecutive laser eye surgeries he performed between 1999 & 2005. He concluded that LASIK correction for near-sightedness and far-sightedness has reasonable safety, efficacy and predictability.
