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.

Are you ready for 2026?

Will you make the standard list of resolutions – all with the best of intentions to put yourself first? It’s tempting to make up our minds to lose weight, stop smoking, start exercising, make new friends, and try different hobbies or activities at the fresh start of a new year.

Did you know that you can pay for medical expenses with pre-tax dollars? With an HSA (Health Savings Account, available to US taxpayers who enrolled in a high-deductible health plan) or an FSA (Flex Spending Account, often available as part of your employer’s benefits package), any funds you contribute are not subject to federal income tax.
